Bottle. Hoptimism online. Gloopy, deep, vibrant orange. Slim ring of white. Nose has ripe apricot. Apricot stone. Apricot yoghurt. There’s a theme here. Taste is upfront juicy sweetness, with a mouth watering, spritz of sourness. Drinks like a smoothie, with soft carbonation. Absolutely no trace of the ABV. Juicy apricot tartness to finish. Wow.
