750ml bottle from Hawkes, London. Pale golden colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of fruity apple, musty, woody. Taste is orchardy apple, fruity, leathery funk, some drying tartness, white wine hints, along with spicy woody notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry tangy & tart finish. Very drinkable.

$20 flip top bottle from one of reps at the Red Hook Holiday Market. Pint glass. Clear, pale gold body. Smells of tart, floral flesh & tannic whiskey wood. A bit fumey, a bit sweet. Really enticing. Taste is a great deal of acid, with the tartness dying down, but not comepletely out. A mild hint of sweetness rounds out the palate. Minerally & full bodied, it puts all that acid to good use. Faintly wine-like, but so much more apple character & curiosity remaining it then many other horridly drained dry whites. Love it.
