Bottle picked up from Hereford Beer House, Hereford and consumed at Campingplätz Felbermühle which is between Bad Gögging and a bigger town (we're on the Donau/ Danube). Pours warm gold with just a smattering of stray bubbles. Tart, dry and fuzzy, the cask ageing softens this nicely but its really zappy. Good.

75cl bottle from Pilango, I think. Pours unclear orange, bubble off-white topping. Good fleshy, raw, skin-like fruit aromatics. Taste follows on, not as bone-dry as standard French cremant, but retaining some good full fruity flavours, some nice bittersharp flavours, fleshy apple skin, distant funk. Good stuff.

Bottle picked up from Hereford Beer House and consumed at home Attenkirchen, Monday 10th June 2019, sat in the garden listening to Slowdive. Pours warm yellow, there is a very slight cloudiness but really almost clear. It's still, its dry and yet gives a little sweetness, some tang not unlike a not quite ripe plum. Tannic, furry on roof of mouth, it's ok but not quite living up to the rather floral description on the tasting notes.

Bottle shared by dirty D Bag. It pours clear rich gold with no head. The aroma is earthy, oak, apple skin, light vanilla, pear and apple pie. The taste is firmly dry, quite soft, muted, straw, grape skin, oak, tannin and straw with a drying finish. Medium body and flat. Muted and a bit wishy washy.
