Faro
Faro is a Flemish classic, served throughout pubs in Brussels but uncommon outsdie Belgium. Historically, sugar or sugar syrup was sometimes added to young, unblended lambic by a bartender - it helped balance the lambic's tart acidity - and eventually lambic brewers began to bottle faro. Lindemans Faro will be available across the US in summer 2010.
Fruit and caramel aroma, balanced by subtle complexity and refreshing acidity. The flavor starts sweet, with suggestions of brown sugar or orange marmalade, and finishes with crisp tartness.
A wonderful aperitif; also try Faro with Belgian waffles, tempura, grilled goat cheese and pears, or the classic Belgian pairing: Belgian chocolate.
12 oz. bottles / 12 per case.
