PilsnerPeter (1626), Flushing, New York, USA Nov 27, 2008 Bottle: Pours a rusty bronze/deep orange with a wispy off white head. Relatively sweet aroma for the style, seems Faro-like. Just a hint of wild fermentation- damp wood, along with rotted apple sweetness. Very underdeveloped. Light body, mildly carbonated, and very sweet for the style. (This isn’t a Faro?) Sugary, sweet marmalade, with a nondescript sweet fruitiness overall and old wet wood. Finishes clean. It lacks depth with no real funk or sourness. Has just a bit f musty character. It seems like a Faro. wetherel (1151), Encinitas, California, USA Nov 18, 2008 $4.999 bottle from PP bottle shop. Amber color. Quickly vanishing head. Some skunk in the aroma. Lots of apple and iced tea flavors. Mild tartness. Not very good. durhambeer (619), Durham, USA Oct 24, 2008 Bottle thanks to David. Amber dark golden body with some floating sediment. Surprisingly large white head. Sour wood aroma; sweet. Notes of cork, must, cheese, apple juice, cider vinegar, and cherries. Sometimes reminiscent of a Flemish red in an odd way. Overall, incredibly sweet and not very impressive. oldrtybastrd (1793), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA Oct 24, 2008 Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a deep cloudy golden color. Aroma is sourish, musty, yeasty. It has lively carbonation. Flavor is a sour vinegar like taste with some light creaminess and a hint of sweet. Can really taste the funk in this one. badlizard (1568), San Diego, California, USA Oct 19, 2008 Bottle from whole foods. Clear golden with no head. Nice musty sweet aroma, slightly tangy fruit taste with sugar notes to the finish.
