(500ml 2018 bottle from the Revel webshop, this vintage is cider and not perry and contains donut peaches as well as nectarines) Pours basically clear pale straw gold with nearly no head but nice bright bubbles. Aroma of crisp and quite tart yellow apple, nectarine, rich peach, sweet heady vanilla bean, pinch of white wine vinegar, slight tropical fruit undertone, wet and slightly sulphurous funk. Flavour is fairly high tartness with a mix of yellow apple, sour nectarine and sweet-tart peach, floral, tropical pineapple/banana smoothie hints for some reason, subtle sweet vanilla, soft fruit skin tannin, light funk, lactic creaminess into the finish. Light to medium body, good effervescence. A surprising cider for me, the vanilla was both more prominent and more sympathetic than I expected, bringing out the tropical undertones from the pit fruit.

A bit too tart for me.

Draft - Sweet and fruity. Clear light gold. Light and fruity with some tannin. Vanilla enhances the fruit but is not evident unto itself.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2018, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out tart nectarines, with some wild yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with tart nectarines upfront, with wild yeast. Pretty flat carbonation with tons of tart nectarines. Not overly complex but it works.
