Bottle from Cobbs Farm Shop, Near Froxfield, West Berkshire 31.01.12 consumed the same day Pours clear gold heading towards light orange, superbly clear with bubbles and a white rim. Good nose, slight wet moulderyness, wet wood cobwebs and slight earthiness. The taste is maybe not quite as good as the aroma and the carbonation is a little too much but its good, sweet initially but then finishes dry, woody, slight rustic feel, soft in the mouth with a juiciness and tangy tartness. I like it. A8 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.6
