A hazy orange beer with a collapsing white head. The aroma is lemony sour. The flavor is just like the ascorbin acid, that my Grandfather always gave me when I had a cold when I was a kid.

The aroma is sour and a little sharp with a metallic note. The color is a slightly hazy orange and it has no head. The flavor is sweet, sugary and slightly sour and metallic with a funny slightly malty note.

Botled. Red-amber with no head. Apple wine aroma. Sweet start, notes of lemon and just a twist of acidity. One-dimensional.

(Bottle 25 cl) Amber coloured, very light in body with loads of sugar almost completely overpowering the acidity. A rather mainstream attempt at a Faro. But credit for the try. It’s still a pleasant drink. 110893

It’s lack of complexity is countered by the fact that it is one of the five most refreshing beers on the planet.

From 33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy orange with little head. Sweet sour lambic aroma. Apple sour and slight sweet flavour. Dry sour finish. Nice.
