Bladder at two trees micro watford. A clear golden orange coloured pour with a fading loose white head. Aroma is spicy, hint of vinegar, earthy pear, subdued. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, rounded earthy pear, some tannin, vibrant rustic pear, to drying finish. Palate us semi sweet, light tannin, moderate carbonation. Lovely pear flavour but the aroma is lacking.

Notes from 7/6. Must have been a few deep & grilling if I used Notes. Bottle from Press online.
Fancy crystal iced-tea class from the basement cupboard we never use.
Clear, if slightly dusty, light gold pour. Weak soda head.
Shroom, barnyard, funky hay, bruised/browned apples, clean compost, cooked green nose.
Taste is mellow funk, veggy, earthy, light skin, very touchy apple twang, mellow tannic skin, a twinge of residual sugar. Missing those bold tropical & tannic KB notes.
Crispy, thin, a touch watered down, easy abv.
Still good-ish.
