Intro: A 750ml corked and capped bottle at the brewery, bottled on 24th March 2022. Poured into a Cantillon tasting glass.
Appearance: A clear golden orange colour with a slightly pink tinge, and a one finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly to a ring around the glass, while leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Tart, minerally, cactus, cucumber, grape skin, vinous, and lemon zesty.
Taste: Somewhat like the aroma, tart, minerally, kiwi, cucumber, melon, cactus, sweetish, raspberry, vinous, with lemon zesty notes.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with soft to moderate carbonation.
Overall: This was definitely interesting, as while still being vinous, the aroma and flavours were not what I expected. Especially those kiwi and cactus notes.
