Keg at Oktupus, Liverpool. It pours clear rich golden with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is sweet, tart, apple skin, gooseberry, grape, perfumed, candied peel and sponge cake. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, light bitterness, apple skin, white grape, gooseberry, vinous, peppery spice, straw, touch of citrus and some alcohol heat with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Dry, tart and vinous in place. Interesting stuff.
