500ml bottle from Scrattings. Would've shared with Soph, but she wasn't keen. Pours a deep, lightly misty copper. Wild fermented apple fruit on the nose, orchard meadow nettles, sweaty cheese. Taste is immediately quite tangy and harsh with a robust acidity, bristling wild character with oaky leather, cheese, bark, rubber. An acquired taste but has its likeable moments.
