Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7
Small whitish rim over clear golden beer. A light, very fine lemony aroma, with some white candi sugar and grains. Little vinous touch - and a whiff of ketone. Sweet-almondy-perfumey - very unsettling flavour (the rum - which I didn't know was added - might well explain this). Retronasal the lemon returning - a bit like fruitgums for adults. Quite spritzy, sparkling feel with a not-quite-light body. Bit slick & smooth at the same time. The truth has its rights. I was, once more, expecting yet another dreary beer trying to emulate the Champagne it was styled on, and failing miserably. But this one definitely stands above those, and on its own. And its much better than the French bubbly!
