Bottle from Beer Ambleside.
Appearance - cloudy yellow to orange with frantic carbonation and at least initially a fluffy head.
Nose - funky, bruised apple and dare I say, a bit eggy.
Taste - more funk, no egg this time. Dry, zesty apple and apple skin.
Palate - medium bodied, tangy and sour middle and finish.
Overall - didn't smell good at all, but good palate.
