Bottle from Press online. This deserves a vintage, as the apples & allotment are always changing. Alas, there is nothing on the label. My version of this is 8.4% & Includes: Gravenstein, Kings, Melrose, Burgundy, Dabinett, Brown Snout, Vilberie & Foxwhelp. V20? Lo-ball glass @home. Three weeks sleeping in the fridge. Clear, but slightly jellied light-medium gold, active sizzle & pour. End of the bottle delivers a more yeasty experience. Earthy, honey-ed, grassy fresh, good butter. Demi-sec. Earthy & sharp upfront, dry nuts, cruising sharp & acidic middle, a little more skin, bittersweet leaning sweet finish, sulfite dust. Low to medium, constant carb, hidden abv, middling high acid, little more bite as it warms. Very approachable, refreshing, restrained, if slightly too sweet for a show pony. Extra points for the good price point though. Cheers.

Bottle at PIB 2015, pours a clear faint blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out red apple skins and a touch of champagne funk. Flavour of light-to-medium sweetness, with red apple skins, a touch of funk, and some light citrus. Really well-designed and balanced. Very good stuff.

Draught at Naked City, Seattle
Hazy pale blond color. Mild aroma of apples. Quite good apple flavor, the mouthfeel is not too weak, with respectable acidity, and soft sweetness.
Pleasant.
