Lindemans: Faro


Belgium Lambic
Brouwerij Lindemans Brewery
Vlezenbeek, Belgium
ALC/VOL: 4%

Just a relaxing Saturday morning. I don't often get a Saturday off, so what better way to relish the moment then with a beer or two. With my buddy Mark, my roommate from college and hetro-life mate, getting engaged this year, I thought I would show a little tribute to the celebration. He's in Brussels this week, so I thought I would try my hand at a few rare Belgium brews.

Never been much of a Lambic fan. I like the idea of them, but they just always end up too sweet for my taste. The smell of this lambic from the bottle doesn't have that same sweet tinge right away. It has more of that "winey" aroma I've come to expect with the lambic taste. However, usually the aroma is intoxicatedly sweet. This is much dryer on my senses, which bodes well.

This beer goes down unbelievably smooth. The Belgians can sure make the shit out of a beer. This is one of those great beers that doesn't take an acquired taste to enjoy. Anyone can tell this beer is quality.
