Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Clear golden with hardly any head. Sweet apple aroma. Medium body, a little low in carbonation, sweet and clean apple accents with the alcohol almost completely hidden. A dangerously easy drink. 200210

Bottle, 7.2%. Shiny golden colour. There is almost no aroma, but the flavour is distinct. Quite sweet flavour, some apple, a bit of acid. OK balance, acidic and sweet.
