Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Bit hazy golden with short lasting big white fizzy head. Lots of barnyard funk, woody, a touch of sweet pears, nettle tea, leathery. Pears are more on the creamy side, not so much like prosecco as often with perry. Light sweet and bitter, very light tart. Medium bodied, over medium dry. Love it.

375ml bottle from Hereford Beer House. Pours hazed gold, thin white ring atop. Aroma of raw pressed apple fruit, orchard must. Taste presents a nicely fruity, medium sweet blend, soft furry tannin, fine carbonation. More refined and mature tasting than previous Gregg's Pit I've tried which were a little rough around the edges. Really nice.
