Csña en Cimmeria 03..07..2020. Color amarillo anaranjado melocotón turbio con espuma blanca. Sabores frescis suaves acidos con toques afrutados de melocotones, alvaricoques y lijeros recuerdos de orejones o melocotones pasos. Cuerpo medio ligero facil de beber con poca sensacion alcohólica para su gradacion. Bastante buena para repetir sin duda alguna.

Bottle shared with my bro. It pours like straight up orange juice with a tiny white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tart, tangy, crazy orange, tangerine, mango, apricot and light yoghurt. The taste is sweet - sour, thick and fruity, um bungo, mango smoothie, apricot, peach, pithy and zesty, juicy, um bungo, light acidity and a touch of yoghurt with a fruit smoothie finish. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Like a thick mango smoothie.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from HB&B, I believe. Pours cloudy orange with a quickly fading, frothy white head. Lovely tart and juicy apricot, peach, tangerine, nectarine and orange, sturdy acidity. Light to medium bodied with delicate, spritzy carbonation. Moderate sweetness in the finish, more juicy fruit vibes, decent quenching acidity. Solid.

Bottle shared with my bro. It pours oily jet oily black with a quickly dissipating tab head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, oily, unctuous, intense coffee vibes, earthy, hard roast, syrupy, burnt toast, nutty, biscotti and praline. The taste is dry, hard roasted, oily, bitter, rich roasted malt, unctuous, oily, thick and filthy, nutty, not much vanilla, liquorice, toothy, umami, spicy, burnt toast and toothy with dry toasty finish. Full body, light carbonation and oily mouth feel. More burnt vibes. Could actually be done with more sweetness. Fun, but only in small measures.
