      So… Re-visited the Lindemans Faro... This time I followed the advice to serve it chilled (5C°)... Even put it in the freezer for five minutes prior to pouring... Result?.. Delicious stuff, very refreshing, lotsa taste, bit too sweet but when sitting out in the sun that's not really an issue... Can't wait to try other Faros!..

      Then it was time for the real stuff, of course…

            That one is quite sour; good, but definitely sour.

              The Cuvée René?.. Weird cause I bought it because the reviews at Ratebeer described it mostly as medium-sour and sour but not acidic… Ah well: we'll see... Of course, the commercial description is wonderful:

              A golden hue sets off the wonderful almost champagne like taste.

                I have so many beers to try out this week and well, basically the whole summer… I'm really enjoying every sip and every beer... And I'm forcing myself to get into new tastes and new styles... I mean: I only started drinking brown beers at the end of 2012... Got a long way to go  🙂

                          Yes on both fronts… But mainly: HOLY FECKIN COW this is good  😞

                            Going by reviews this isn't a "good" Faro, but it's less sweet than the Lindemans and it sure goes down easily…

                                      I dunno, it looks a little too light for me if it can float upside-down… 😉
