375ml corked & cage from Press. Cidery listing should probably be spun off or updated. Lo-ball @home. Clear, medium gold, strong & quick fizz. Sharp varnish, leathery, pepper & lime, heavy faux oak & macerated sugar nose. Unnecessary banana & clove. Bittersharp & sweet. Lime, leaf mulch, plastic. Mott's sweetness. Minerally. Light but noticeable banana ester. Sharp, crispy, slick, acidic enough but mostly about crazy sharpness. A touch medicinal but still hits most of the Wickson notes. Hard apple to screw up. Have had way better though.
