75 cl bottle at La Caníbal, Madrid. A deep golden pour with a greenish cast. Aroma is quite intense: cider, green apple, lemon, yeast, grass, funk. Dry, crisp (even tart). Surprisingly bitter and long-lasting finish. Nice.

Bottle bought at Liquor Shed. 2014.

Pours a hazy peach colour, 1 finger head of foam with a hard pour. Does well with the lacing.

Smells of apricots, very acetic, funky, sour, like the fruit pits were ground in..leading to some bitterness.

Taste is oaky, full of apricot sourness and bitterness thanks to what I said above..like the pits were ground in. Funky like a monkey, woody, all around very pleasing.

Light body with adequate carbonation.

Damn I dig this! $19.99 for the bottle. Worth it.
