Tap. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is stinky cheese, some candy sugar, surprisingly much Lambic character in here. Taste is candy sugar, funk. Slight carbonation. Quite nice for a Faro.

02-11-16 // tap at Le Bier Circus, Brussels. Hazy orange beer, with a solid white head. Smells like applejuice with alcohol. Taste is sweet and a little sour. Candy sugar for sure. Apple sweetness. Not my style.
