Bottle. Clear gold with brief white fizz on top. Aroma of fruity apples, cider vinegar, funk. Taste is more mellow than expected, quite fruity and sweet, some funk, occasional white chocolate note but that's probably just me!, light funk, drying apple skin note. Smooth medium body. Very enjoyable.

500ml bottle. Golden colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of apple, fruity, zesty. Taste is sweetish, apple, mellow, earthy, some funk and orchardy tannins. Medium bodied, light carbonation, dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.

500ml bottle from Beer District, Buxton. Pours a generally clear gold, lightly misty. Nice clean fruity nose. Taste presents a good earthy Kingston Black presence, characterful natural fruitiness with soft tannins, very lightly carbonated. Good stuff.
