Description
Oude Faro De Cam is a tradtional faro bottled by De Cam. It is variably available in both 37,5cl and 75cl bottles and is labeled as 5% ABV.
History / Other Notes
It is unclear exactly how many bottlings of Oude Faro De Cam exist, as all of the labels read 2009. However, due to the cost of printing labels and De Cam being a very small geuzestekerij, labels are often reused for bottlings until they run out and a new batch is printed. Blender Karel Goddeau has recently noted that he hopes to change this process as more and more people become interested in looking at lambic from a vintage year point-of-view. Oude Faro De Cam has been available both in Europe and through various Belgian webshops.
In order to bottle this Faro, which is a style generally seen only on draught and meant to be consumed immediately, the candisugar is fermented out prior to bottling so that it does not continue to produce excess carbonation that would risk the bottle exploding.
Label

Matured in large 100 year old oak barrels. Beer of spontaneous fermentation. Two year old lambic with candisugar. Old Faro is flat like wine. This Old Faro contains only wheat, barly, water, hops and candisugar and was not pasteurized.
