Bottle from the cidery. Baby Duvel glass. Mood: Still jolly. Clear solid gold body with a hint of floaties. Smell is unexpectedly rich & macerated upfront, turning acidic. Big upfront acidic fruit, but only mildly bitter. Some sourness too, but backended by extreme stone fruit. Suggestively creamy at first, it is thin & sharp. Lingering skin & that tannic pith finally hit at the very end. Lightweight, but not lacking.
