Clear amber with a fast escaping white head.
Nose is apple skins, vinous, booze tunes, brandy nip, tangy fruit esters.
Taste comprises bitter apples, mellow brandy nip, tannins, herb, vinous, earthy apple skin, orchard floor.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a kick of booze.
Big and punchy, fun enough, if a little on the raw side.
