Bottle. Beer Ritz. 2? Well done with that. Anyhow, in the real world... Mostly clear, medium gold. Thick, fairly loose, evenly bubbly, bright white head. Nose has tart apple. Lemon rind. Fresh cut wood. Super clean, dry grain. A ton of mineral and a hint of vanilla. Taste is tart, dry, and mineraly. Some oaky sweetness. Fresh and bright on the palate. Fine, sharp carbonation. Tart, dry and clean mineral to finish.

Bottle split at L6, thanks to Dave, 10/02/20. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white head. Nose is green berry funk, wood must, straw, lemon rind, damp cloth. Taste comprises damp straw, funk, gooseberries, white grape must, farmyard esters, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Solid easy drinking farm haus affair.

75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Feb '20, in a desolate town centre during the famous Shrewsbury floods of 2020. Misty golden orange pour, patchy off white head. Aroma of lovely fresh citrussy wild lambic, continuing to taste, bright and floral with additional lemon hints. Great balanced Gloucester Gueuze, exceptional.
