Lindemans Faro
Lindemans Faro presents a captivating sensory marriage between the wild, untamed nature of spontaneous fermentation and the mellowing influence of dark candi sugar. This revitalized classic blends young and old Lambic, yielding a profile where rustic Brettanomyces funk—reminiscent of hay and earthy cellar notes—is gracefully smoothed by the addition of brown sugar. The aroma leads with a sharp lactic tang and a deep caramel sweetness, while the palate offers a rhythmic interplay between sugary richness and a bright, acidic backbone. It remains a refreshing, approachable masterpiece, expertly balancing the style’s signature tartness with a comforting, syrupy depth.
Appearance. Dark orange to deep copper-brown (SRM 12-15). It features a thin, off-white head with low retention and minimal lacing, despite a highly effervescent body showing numerous rising bubbles. Clarity is generally clear to slightly hazy.
Aroma. High intensity. A prominent sweet character of brown sugar and caramel dominates, supported by a sharp lactic acidity. Complex yeast-derived esters suggest green apple and dried fruits, accompanied by classic Brettanomyces funk including notes of hay, leather, and horse blanket. No hop aroma is present.
Taste. The initial impression is a distinct, syrupy sweetness from the added sugar. This is immediately followed by a moderate to high lactic sourness and a light vinegar-like tang. Malt flavor is low, primarily contributing caramel and toasted notes. No hop flavor or bitterness (0 IBU context) is perceived. The finish is a unique balance of lingering sweetness and crisp acidity, with a clean but funky aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly syrupy texture that is cut by high carbonation. It presents a noticeable tart, puckering sensation on the palate without being astringent. Alcohol warmth is a very subtle hint, well-integrated into the light-bodied profile.
