Intro: A 750ml corked and caged bottle, with a neck label of 2022-2023, and a best before date of 6th January 2033. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A hazy golden orange colour with a one finger white head that had good retention and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Funky, sulphury apple cider, apple peel, white grape skin, wood, and a touch dusty.
Taste: Sour, tart, apple, apple peel, green vines, gooseberry, funky, hay, wood.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: It drinks easy, and while aroma was pretty good, the flavours were fine but not amongst my favourite.
