Mort Subite Faro

Brewed by Mort Subite (Alken-Maes / Scottish & Newcastle)
Style: Lambic - Faro
Kobbegem, Belgium

An amber beer with a small head. The aroma is sour with notes of grapes and brown sugar and so is the flavor.

From tap at La Mort subite. Pours clear and golden amber/brown with a small diminished off-white head. Acidic and roasted malty aroma. Mild sweet brown sugarish flavour. Mild acidic flavoured into a light sweet finish.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Dark amber with brief creamy head. Pleasant fruity black cherry aroma. Sweet, clean and rather soft with lightly acidic finish. Refreshing, and surprisingly complex. Oddly this faro has the most character of any of the Mort Subite beers I've sampled.

Draught @ La Mort Subite, Brussels 1000, Belgium.
Clear medium red amber color with a average, frothy, good lancing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, green apple, brown sugar. Flavor is moderate sweet and light acidic with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (250508)

Draught. Quite acidic aroma. Dark prune colour, no head. The flavour is slightly sweet and a bit acidic with earthy undertones. Aftertaste is acidic and seems to have some aspartam.

Draught at La Mort Subite, Brussels. Clear orange coloured with a small white head. Fruity aroma of wood and white wine with light acidic notes. Fruity flavour of wood and red wine with light acidic notes. Tart finish.

Bright amber colour. Aroma as expected - horseblanket and sugar. Palate is quite tart, with hints of caramel. Brilliant balance as the sugar cuts through the lambic notes (as opposed to their regular Gueuze, which is vice versa). Awesome faro, which the sarcastic might say stems from Keersmaeker’s extensive experience at adding sugar to lambic.
