Bottle 330 ml at Craft Room. Pours clear golden, no head. Apples in aroma, moderate sourness and moderate+ sweetness. Light bodied. Average to high carbonation. Too sweet for me. Liked the regular one way more.

Bottle at Craft Room. Clear golden body. Huge red apple aroma, sweetish, red apples and banana. The taste is similar, light, again notes of red apples, vague banana, ending dry and clean, but too light and tannic, vague sweet berryish notes. Interesting, different, nice! Good job people!

Bottle at Craft Room. Almost fully clear body. Gilded water. Full sweetish aroma, ripe reed apples, cherries and banana in the aroma, slightly tart. Very nice. Cherry juice and apple tartness is basically the taste, which is impressive considering it’s apple-only. Mild carbonation, medium tartness yet not in the finish, which is nice. Not bad at all really. Not as rustic / HC true as Balissae could be, but a solid, needed new presence on the market.
