Chapeau Faro lambic

Faro. What the heck is "faro", is that like King Tut? Let's see what Michael Jackson has to say...
Well, that didn't tell us much. But, maybe there isn't much to say, either?

Here are my notes from December, 2007, of the Chapeau Faro from De Troche:


Pry off the cap, pop out the cork, and into a snifter it goes...

Prune-skin brown, small, soon-gone head, light cola color.

Dark fruits, especially raisins and prunes, in the nose, slightly sour, ...and then, a touch of sweetness, a hint of cherries. Funky, weird...I like it.

Taste: cherry syrup. Tartness grips the buds, then sweet rides over it. Tart, sour, tart, sour, doin' the two-step faro.

Moderate carbonation, fairly medium bodied, soft, fruity finish.

I haven't had enough faros to know how this compares, but it was okay, though it lacks any complexity or really interesting character. Most likely won't return to this one.
