Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Cheers Ash! Lovely amber colour, big white head. Bit too big, lots of bubbles, carbonation a bit high. Aromas of dried ginger, apple, caramel. Falls apart after the aroma though, not a lot else going on.

50cl bottle from Vinomondo. Pours a lovely amber colour with a nice generous head. The nose has ginger biscuits. The taste has more ginger biscuits and fresh apples. The palate is close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a dry finish. The carbonation probably makes it more full of body than you’d expect from the alcohol. The ginger is a little dominant but it’s good.
