Bottle at ChrisO’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2011. Clear gold pour with a light, foamy head. Tart apple aroma. Sweet and dry flavor, light sugar, funk and understated apple. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Faintly dry finish, a little bit of must and apples. Really nice.

Bottle. Gold with no head and moderate carbonation. Fresh apple aroma with a hint of tartness. Surprisingly easy drinking for the ABV, with a dry yet juicy apple flavour. Very drinkable and another good single varietal from Sheppys.
