Cask/ceramic jug at Chez Moeder in Brussels. Still, slightly hazy dark copper color - no head. Sweet brown sugar and Belgian candy sugar in the nose and flavor, but surprisingly it has some nice acidity - wet, oily, medium-to-full body, with sweet apple cider and some light funk and acidity, very raw sort of flavor, very real for faro. Weedy and smooth in the finish, nice overall.

Pours a headless orange-amber color. Aroma is burnt sugar cane sweetness. Not much there to separate this from other common faros. Taste reduces that nasty sweetness. Its still there but the base beer is felt in a slight wild/barnyard flavor breaking through the muck creating a nice drinkable sweet mild lambic. The flavor really grew on me as I kept at it and it became more drying as I kept drinking. By the end a good amount of tartness began to be felt at the end of the flavor. By this point this was the best faro I had had.
Cask @ Cantillon Brewery, poured out of a faro ceramic jug, on 5/17/08.

(Poured from jug at the brewery on 2008-03-22) Orange colour. Hazy. Sweet nose. Sugary taste lacking almost completly the normal lambic sourness. But some sourness remains. Good.
