375ml bottle from Cellar D'or. Lowball tumbler. Somewhat hazy with floaties. A dull, pale gold. Dank, lime, floral, cigarette butts. Lime, apple skin, a little vinegar, big plant-y/green bitterness, very acidic, very slight sweetness on the finish. Complex & dirty. Dry for the most part, strong carb, heavy body, boozy. Okay, if a little too stiff. One & done.
