330ml bottle from the Hoptimist, Leeds. Sparkling golden colour, white foam head that dissipates to a thin layer and aroma of apple, straw, oil, citric. Taste is sweetish, apple, fleshy, tangy, woody, vanilla, some funk, white wine, with notes of straw & diesel, and tart acidity, plus slight tannin. Medium bodied, light carbonation, drying acidic finish. Nicely drinkable.

Sample, many thanks to Danlo! Relatively clear gold appearance, sparse foamy bubbles atop. Aroma of wild fermented apple fruit. Taste presents a gentle acidity, oily palate, dry green apple, core, vanilla hints. Not getting much wine influence unfortunately, but it's a fine sipper that blossoms into a nice oily sweet fruitiness.

20/11/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear gold with a short lasting bubbly white head. Aroma of sharp tart apple, wood, vanilla, grape, summer fruit yoghurt. Light sweetness and medium sour. Moderate body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Enjoyed this. Too fizzy, but really liked the sour.
