Taste is fruity, floral, pear, tart with acidic, zesty citrus, gooseberry, white wine notes and woody, formic acid hints. Slick mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry citric acidic finish.

Bottle shared at LKS. It pours clear green - yellow with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, sweet, juicy, tangy, vanilla, oak, pear pie, light spice, elderflower and some white grape. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, tart, bright, gooseberry, white grape skin, elderflower, nice mouth - pucker and sherbet. Firmly dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Crisp, dry, tart and quaffablr. Nice elderflower vibes. Tasty.

Bottle shared in Hackney - cheers to Scopey. Pours clear, pale yellow. Really interesting aroma, some lemon peel, dried pears. Medium sweet flavour, some floral notes, more dried pears, citrus peel. Medium bodied, fine. Finishes with touches of warmth, more flowers, hay, lemon, dried pears, biscuits. Fun stuff. Really novel.
