Crowler from BD Inverurie. It pours clear apple-juice amber with a fizzy white head. The aroma is nice funk upfront, barnyard, sweet tangy apple, warning spice, earthy apple skin, apple crumble and a touch of sharp grape. The taste is crisp, prickly, dry, bitter - sweet, juicy, tangy, crunchy, earthy vibes, apple skin, touch of tannin, slick and oily, some tartness, juicy crisp apples, kiss of booze and a certain vinous quality with a dry, slightly funky finish. Medium-fulsome body and fine, prickly/effervescent carbonation. Has a nice depth to it. Grows on you. Fun stuff.
