375ml bottle from Brewdog Oxford. Pale yellow appearance. Has a simplistic dessert apple profile and a very light yuzu touch. Expected more depth and character to come through from the sake yeast, which seems lacking. Bit disappointing.

Bottle from DogTap. It pours very pale almost greenish gold with a tiny white head. The taste is somehow sweet, sour and savoury, tangy crunchy apple, definite sake / rice pudding, melon, white wine, grain husk and hay. The taste is fairly sweet upfront, juicy, tangy, crunchy, sherbet, sweet white grape, green apple skin, limeade, white grape, melon, savoury, splash of sake, rice pudding, hit of acidity and light umami with a dry finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Quite interesting stuff.
