Keg at Sonder, Broadstairs, 19/03/2026.
Hazed golden orange topped with a lasting white cap.
Nose is tangy citric rinds, straw, herb, hedgerow.
Taste comprises sharp orange zest, herb, straw, lemon balm.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a modest acidic twinge.
Passable affair ... not offensive ... not sour enough and a touch sweet edged.

Can from Appellation Wines. Pours murky orange with a short-lived thin orange head. Aromas of strong clementine as expected, tangy sour. Taste is ornage and a faint herbal note. Mostly tangy sour on the finish.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - solid orange and not much head after a fizzy start.
Nose - big clementine notes on opening the can, even before pouring. Not sure I'm getting the balm at all.
Taste - more of the same really, some tart and funk too.
Palate - light to medium bodied, tangy and funky sour finish. Decent linger.
Overall - quite nice.
