(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 31 Aug 2019) Hazy pale golden colour with brief, white head. Fruity, sourish nose with green apples, lemon, glue and oak wood. Fruity, tart taste with notes of lemon, peaches, green apples, hay, hints of glue, oak wood and a tart and dry finish. Medium body, dry. Interesting and quite tart, really tasty. Very nice.

Tap at Beertemple. Unclear golden sour grainy apple juice. Quite big sour. Medium body and soft carbonation. This is graf-bic. Not cider. Definitely some malts going on. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cider BA Conservatory on 25 Sep 2019 at 11:52 - Score: . Original review text: Lci
