Sampled from 0.75 l bottle, shared by sjogro at Not THT, thanks! Clear, golden yellow with a white head. Sweetish, sourish-fruity and a little funky aroma of apple juice, a touch of pear and hints of almond. Quite sweet, moderately sourish-fruity and a little funky taste of apple juice, some pear and a bit of almond, followed by a short, slightly tart and a bit dry finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft to average carbonation. Okay, just sweeter than expected.

75cl bottle shared at Not THT tasting. Clear golden with no head retention. Sweet apples, faint appleskin, some moss, mild funk. Sweet, light bitter. Thin body, soft carbonation.

Bottle shared. Clear golden with short lasting fizzy white head. Musty apple, loads of fresh apple skins and some juice. Light earthy and dusty, tree bark, dry cardboard. Over medium sweet but also quite dry at the same time. Some apple tartness. Medium bodied with soft fizzy carbonation. Not bad. 3.3 Had it again in 2019. More fresh with some OK funk. Note bad at all. 3.5
