75cl bottle from Hoptimism. Appearance - cloudy yellow. Initially a fizzy head but then it disappears. Nose - citrus, green apples and apple skins. Possibly a little woodiness. Taste - green apples and wood again. Lemon edge. Palate - light bodied, high acidity. Good linger! Overall - a bit challenging but worth the time investment.
