Intro: A 750ml corked and caged bottle, with a neck label of 2021-2022, and a best before date of 4th November 2031. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A hazy golden orange colour with an almost two finger white head that had pretty good retention and eventually settled to a nice thin cap while leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Funky, barnyard, earthy, rhubarb, lime, leafy, oak.
Taste: Lightly sour, green, earthy, rhubarb, lemon, with light woody notes.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with soft to moderate carbonation.
Overall: While the aroma was okay, I enjoyed the taste which was nicely balanced.
