16/4/2021. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear pale golden with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is musty apple, woody, peanut butter, funky, cork, tannins. Moderate sweetness and light tartness. Medium body, average carbonation. Drying finish. Interesting indeed.

Sample thanks to Mr danlo. Clear gold with a persistent ring of white foam. Aroma has strong Spring floral meadow notes, continuing to taste with a noticeable nettly bitterness, dry sharp apple fruit and crunchy apple core. Fine spritz throughout. Interesting.

750ml wired cork bottle from J & R Armitage stall at Sedgefield outdoor Farmers Market. Opened with a pop. Sparkling, golden colour, foamy white head that quickly dissipates away and aroma of fruity apple, bready yeast, booze. Taste is tangy, tart apple, sweetish, fruity, with alittle skin & core, yeasty & caramel hints, white wine notes and citric acidity. Sharp spikey mouthfeel, medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry tart acidic boozy finish. Quite drinkable.
