(750ml clear glass bottle from the cidery webshop - no indication of version beyond the special bottle) Pours nearly clear bright gold with a rapidly dissipating white head. Aroma is lightly honeyed semi-tart apple with quite some dephty, a lot of soft floral and herbal notes, subtle wood, light funk, quite delicate on the whole but more smooth than the normal version. Flavour is very lightly sweet and moderately tart apple, somewhere between fresh and baked, wildflower honey, soft herbs, very smooth apple tannins, almost a green apple acidity in the later parts of the sip, slightly lactic, low funk but subtle yeast breadiness, nice floral apple finish with a touch of drying wood giving a white wine vibe. Light to medium body, silky, smooth light bottle condition carbonation. Compared to the normal version of Time & Place, this version is smoother and more balanced with less prominent yeasty character, with a lovely pure apple character.
