Chapeau Faro

Brewed by Brouwerij De Troch
Style: Lambic - Faro
Ternat-Wambeek, Belgium

Pours a nice hazy golden reddish amber color, nice carbonation, nice little fizzy white head, with does leave some sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, slight yeast, some raspberries/strawberries/cherries. The taste is malty, slight yeast, sweet, with just a little bit of sourness. Medium body. Drinkable, I really like this one, thanks Anthony.

Pours copper with gold hues and white head. The aroma has solid cherry and plum fruitiness followed by dank clothes closet and acidic tartness. The taste starts very sweet sugar and cherries and then moves increasingly acidic but does not get anywhere near the level of sweetness being offered. To the finish the tartness attempts to purge the palate but the sweet slick sugariness gets in the way. Wow, sweeter than I was expecting.

Bottle courtesy of Ibrew2or3. Thanks Dave for finaly getting me a Faro rating. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma of vinegar, cork, and sugar. Taste is sweet malt, cork, and light vinegar. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and sweet finish. Not for me.

Bottle: Poured a brown with wurky heavy floaties, the head is light white. Aroma is bitter fruit and winey. Taste is winey and fruit, tingle to the tongue.

38cl, from the brewery, not complex sweet brew, not balanced, clear, small head, nothing special

courtesy of ibrew2or3 ... thanks for bringing this hidden jewel to our attention. Beer turned out a lot better than anticipated. Pours amber with beige head. Aroma had a lot of vinegar. Taste was just totally different. Sweet, fruity (dark fruits). The finish is lightly sour.

Thanks to Tim for sharing a bottle of my first ever faro. 375ml bottle. Some acidity and horsiness in the aroma as well as some cork and musty notes. Initial taste is raspberries followed by sweet red wine, vinegar, mustiness, and raspberries. Sweetness balances out the tartness.

Wow, deep and interesting beer. Aroma is vinegary with pieces of mold, sour cherry, bitter orange, port (?), and cobwebs. Flavor is sour, cherry, vinegar, and acid. This is a complex liquid that finishes dry with a vinegary tartness.
