Glowing orange in color, with a nice, long lasting white head, lots of lacing.
Musty aroma, lots of leather, quite obvious Brett smell. Guarana seeds, multiple fruits, sour notes.
Light bodied, nice carbonation, this is by far the best Faro I ever had; it is indeed sweeter than the original 1882, but not by much; there are multiple sour, acidic notes along with the sweety fruitiness, and lots of earthiness and funkiness. A very impressive example, high drinkability since it is well balanced and just lightly sweet. A masterpiece of flavor packed in such a low ABV.

Brugse Zot blond from Brewery De Halve Maan is available in the Beer Store
