500ml bottle, thanks to danlo. Shared with Soph after a 30 mile ride to Eastridge and back. Pale misty morning piss yellow appearance. Aroma of light lemon zest. Fine spritz. Taste brings lemon zest, breezy citrus, apple skin with a gentle vanilla / lemon sweetness emerging. Soft natural yeast presence. Interesting, pretty tasty.

Bottle. Very pale not-quite-yellow with a short-lived thin white head. Aromas of apple juice, tangy. Taste is quite dry, more apple, faint citrus. Unusual.

500ml bottle from Brewdog online store. Hazy pale yellow colour, fizzy white forma head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of fruity apple, zesty, citrus. Taste is tangy, apple, some tartness, woody oak, fruity, lactic & vanilla hints, with some zesty citric funk. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry wine-like finish. Nicely drinkable.
