Taster. Boldly spiced Like an acid marinade - vinegar, lots of ginger, other spices. Heat from ginger more than anything. It all works as a warming shot but I don't think I could drink much of it.

Can. Cloudy gold with a torrent bubbles breaking the surface. Aroma of sweet and quite tangy apples, hints of cheese. Light bodied, fizzy. Soft and sweet at first with clearly sweet apples and hints of cooked ones, then quite form acidity takes over. Some lemon and strawberries, rosewater. Pretty good - refreshing with a bit of structure.
