(750ml bottle from the cidery webshop) Pours clear bright gold with a rapidly fizzing white head and active bubbles. Aroma is totally wild, surprisingly sweet and like baked goods; rendolent in almond and cinnamon and dates in warm dough, with fairly intense floral perfume and golden plum backbeats bringing sweet-tart vibes coupled with a little yellow apple and a blanket of wet wood and hay funk. Flavour is a tad less sweet and pastry-inflected than the nose but still lots of baked cinnamon and almond buns, but with nice lightly sweet and moderately acidic yellow plum, deep perfumed chamomile, nice textural apple base, soft to moderate tannin and a big return of the cinnamon/almond and sweet baked buns vibe in the finish, funk quite restrained on the tongue. Light to medium body, oily, nice active carbonation when opened. Sensational notes from the chamomile, I definitely wasn't expecting something bordering on pastry cider. Cool!
