Bottle on the return train from Cotteridge, thanks to Lorna! It pours clear gold with a small white head. The nose is soft, clean, juicy apple, pear and some apple pie. The taste is bitter-sweet, juicy, apple, pear, apple pie and touch of sherbet with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Good balance and high drinkability.
