75cl bottle from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - golden yellow with a haze, initially frantic carbonation and then a quickly disappearing fizzy head.
Nose - funky farmyard without getting too close to the glass. Bruised apple, more funk.
Taste - golden delicious apple, some tartness but still sweet apple at the finish.
Palate - medium bodied, some creaminess in the middle and then tangy, dry finish.
Overall - smelt like shit, improved thereafter!

A pleasant surprise - the other half picked this up from the local bakery (she’s not a perry drinker normally, and she didn’t buy this for me). Sweet but not cloying, a little ripe pear, subtle candy floss, quite low funk, mellow acidity. Nip of apple sauce. Spritzy carb. Hugely drinkable.
