Pale golden yellow topped with a thin white cap that veers to the edge.
Nose is funky, light sulphuric tones, tannins, apple core.

Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close.
Tidy as always from Olivers although the nose was a little off putting.

Very nice stuff. Quite dry. Mellow ripe apple. Rounded and deep woody character, doesn’t scream American oak to me, just generally quite dry and woody. Musty cellar. A little warmth to finish. Subtle warmth - drinks below the ABV. Some bitter peel. Good one overall.
