750ml bottle from Middle Farm, Firle and shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with lots of champagne bubbles. The aroma is crushed apple, subtle raspberry. The flavour is super dry, yeasty, funky, almost vinous palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Not too sweet and nicely sessionable.

(Draft at Joran Cidrothèque, Brussels, 20 Sep 2025) Golden colour with big, but brief, white head. Fruity nose with pears, apples, citrus and grass. Fruity taste with notes of pears, apples, marzipan, jam and a generous acidity in the finish. Medium body, dry. Elegant, rich and quite tart. Very nice.
