On tap at Bottleworks, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Nose brings out the marrow, with apples and light smoke. Flavour is just disgusting in my opinion, with loads of marrow and smoke - I wouldn't have ordered this if I knew what it was. Nasty to me.

On tap at Bottleworks, pours a clear pale golden with a tiny white head. Nose brings out light ginger, medium sweet apples and some light funk. Flavour is along the same lines - the ginger is pretty light, with farmhouse notes and medium sweet apples. Well-balanced and clean. Not my favourite of the Finnriver products, but they excepted this well. Solid.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe, pours a cloudy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out farmhouse funk and dry apples. Flavour is very funky, with farmhouse notes, medium funk and dry apples. Very complex, with a lovely dryness. Excellent stuff.

Medium rusty orange. Silky smooth and thick. Cacao, sweet fruit, pear liqueur, very sweet sugary finish but with lasting warm booze, too. Such a great sipper.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out an interesting mix of honey, dry red apples, and fresh meadowy notes. Flavour is crisp and lightly sweet, with crisp red apples and just a touch of honey to make things more interesting. Really cohesive and well-integrated. Excellent.
