Bottle from the Perry edition of the Press seasonal box. Few weeks of shelf time then a few more weeks of chill to try & drop sediment.
Half hazy, pale gold, active soda head.
Soap & twang, sweet apple+ cucumber, cider vinegar nose.
Spritzy, soapy, gently tangy & floral pear. Bittersharp leaning sweet. Ginger ale feels. Moderate farm funk that doesn't mesh perfectly with something delicate like this. I want it drier or with less vinegar.
Sulfite headache.
Okay. Couldn't finish it. I drink most of these bottles solo.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 1 June 2025) Golden colour with brief foamy head. Fruity nose with notes of pears, yellow apples, grass and a touch of yeast. Fruity, tart taste with pears, yellow apples, grass, citrus and a generous acidity in the finish. Medium body, just a slight sweetness. Tart and refreshing. Quite nice.
