        Petrus Aged pale. Stunning. Sour but smooth. Beautful colour. Very refreshing. Chris was right!..

          I drank the last one in my fridge a few days ago; it really is excellent.

            I found it massively refreshing et all, but a bit too acidic for my tastes… Beer for this afternoon is sorted... First time that I'll be having a Faro... Hopefully I like it, cause this 37.5 cl bottle of Lindemans cost me 1.16 €...  That's cheap, even for Belgian standards...

                  You do?.. I mean: it's not bad ey… But I expected it to be less sweet... Can you recommend me a more sour Faro, C?.. Not too sour though (keep in mind I find the Petrus Aged pale too sour)...

                  Ok so apéritive:

                  Pretty good, creamy, not too heavy beer (7.6°)… Apparently made by Chimay for Mont des Cats... They were gonna be the new AUTHENTIC TRIPLE PRODUCT but haven't heard from that... No ATP logo on the bottle... Still, worth it if you can try it... Too low in alcie % (not enough body) to stand out though...

                    Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's great, but it's not terrible.  It is very sweet, you're right about that.  Gotta be in the right mood to drink it, like when you're looking for dessert

                    Can't recommend a better one, sorry.  That's the only one I've found around here.

                    May have a couple for you to try soon- Nevada had different beer distributors, do I've got a dozen or so bottles of things I haven't seen in Texas, including some interesting looking Belgian ones.

                        I like my life sweet and my beer bitter. Or sour. That said, I can handle certain dry fruit lambics.

                        Think it, be it.

                            Seul, Faro is brewed with candy sugar and wild yeast, it's a very interesting beer and really great about once a year. Good after a rich meal for desert. It's the ice wine of the beer world. I'm currently drinking a canned Belgian style Tripel that's brewed in Wichita, KS. Surprisingly delishious.

                            (I love when she wants to drive the big truck.)

                              Yeah I know it has candy sugar, but the Lindemans also has artificial sweeteners added… So I'm hoping there's a less sweet Faro out there... Gonna try the Cantillon Faro for starters... It is a really nice drink on itself though... Excellent for warmer weather...

                              PS: that motherfucking Rolex... And Lori... There is no drink in your pic...

                                    Doing my homework… Apparently the best Faro is:

                                    • Cantillon
                                    • 3 Fonteinen
                                    • De Cam Oude Faro (old Faro)

                                    Going back to Geers this Thursday...  ::) Getting lots of Liefmans Goudenband as well (and one for a certain faux-Texan).

                                      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.
