Cambridge Gold

Bottle shared by Shiggy Shig! Twenty ounces all to myself.

Lowball. Intentionally still, what's with the resealable cage?
Filtered, medium amber beverage.
Smells bittersharp, gum, spiced rum & cider vinegar sourness.
Taste is cooked/caramelized sharp & sweet apples, mulled red wine, touch of popsicle stick, soft wild funk - probiotic apple cider vinegar twang on the tail. Is it turning or is it intentional? Full flavored but a touch sweet to be without enough complimentary astringency.
Thin but a little sugary, acidy, medium tart, medium-low tannins, easy for the listed abv.

Kinda good.

Bottle: Poured an orange coppery translucent with a bubble head. Aroma is apple, smoke, woodsy. Taste is Smokey, sharp apples, light sweetness, woodsy, tangy.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma of woody sweet apples and a hint of funk and spice. The oak and the whiskey is subtle in the taste which is quite sweet. Nice.

Sample, thanks to Grumbo. Misty orange pour. Good, fine carbonation, not hugely fruity or sweet but possesses a pleasant natural feel, quite dry with a gentle tang seeing you off. Nice.
