The aroma was cork and oak with a strong saccharine characteristic. The aroma was lightly tart with an acidic nature and some estery fruit character. The beer poured into the chalice clear amber with a low white well lasting head. The flavor was sweet, very, very sweet. Along with the sweetness was a light tartness and a fruity character. The sweetness was forced and unlike a cloying malt sweetness, this was that of saccharine. The finish was sweet, of course, and the body was medium with a fairly low carbonation. I had this in Belgium fresh and found it undrinkable. This bottle was much more pleasurable, but still too sweet for doing anything other than putting on a child’s pacifier. 37.5 cl corked and capped bottle, purchased at a Delhaize (Food Lion) in Brussels.

Many thanks to JK for carting this home and sharing. Dark copper color with a thin head. Strong aroma of caramel and sourness. Outstanding flavors of oak, caramel and sweet malt. A moderate sourness towards the finish. Freakin delicious.

This is good. Light barnyard aroma with the promise of sour flavor. There is yeast and sourness in the flavor, but tempered with sugar sweetness. Brown color and lots of carbonation. Its a shame faros can’t be found in the United States.

Thanks to JK for sharing. Tart nose on this light brown pour with minimal head. Sour with a nice fruity sweetness to balance it out.

Thanks to JK for sharing. Pours a clearish bubbly dirty brown. Nice apricot sour nose with hints of some other sweetness. Very nice sour brown like flavor profile. Nice brown sugar sweetness with a nice sour bite.

Clear light brown with a small head. Aroma is mainly sour with notes of fresh green acidic fruits/berries. Flavor is a mix of sourness balances with a good chunck of sugar, with a very acidic sidenote and finish. Quite refreshing and very drinkable for a Lambic

Bottle. A sweet, yeasty, fruity aroma (I couldn’t put my finger on which fruits were there). Taste has some hop and malt, with an underlying lambic fruit flavour. A sweet, fruity, acidic finish. Not too sweet. Moderate carbonation. Fairly refreshing and easy to drink.
