500ml bottle thanks to minutemat! Pours clear deep gold. Aroma is sour funk, rich apple fruit. Taste is fairly sour with a punchy wild character, good complexity, with fascinating wild yeast depths, prickly, thorny, wild meadow flora threatening a vicious sour bite, but becoming likeable as the palate becomes accustomed to it. Marketed as a lambic cider im sure this would generate excitement in the right quarters. An interesting sipper.

17/5/2019. Bottle, sample, courtesy of minutemat, cheers! Pours clear golden with minimal head. Aroma of slightly tart apples and a little barnyard. Moderate sweetness, light tartness. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, average carbonation. Slight dryness, and nice sweet/tart mix to finish. Quite good.

500ml bottle from Ludlow Food Centre. Pours gold with a light mist. Gentle apple sweetness on the nose. Taste presents a light natural carbonation, gentle apple sweetness, no detectable honey, perhaps a little on the finish, generally a pleasant balanced medium sweet juicy blend, with soft acidity.
