0,5 flaske fra Meny Borups alle København, nest siste dag på hytta okt-17: klar, rødlig kobber med fint sium som varer. Fruktig aroma og smak med engelsk appelsinmarmelade, røde bær, jordaktige toner, karamell, litt urter og gress. Stor smaksrikdom kombinert med lavt vitamininnhod og deilig, fruktig bitterhet i ettersmaken. Et flott eksempel på stilen, og velegnet til en pint eller to (eller tre). Et meget godt kjøp til 20 kr.
