Bag-in-a-box at Ealing Beer Fest 25. Aroma has a hint of sweetness alongside the astringent pulp and peel. Slightly opaque amber. Thin frothy foamy translucent white head primarily sticks to the rim. Flavourwise it is then very surprisingly sweet and syrupy. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish.

Not bad but not up to the usual Oliver's standards.

75cl bottle from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - hazy golden yellow. Very gently carbonation despite a good pop on opening.
Nose - apple, apple skin, hay and a touch of wood.
Taste - juicier apple this time, still skin and wood in there too!
Palate - light bodied, tangy, bitter and good acidity.
Overall - lovely gear!

Bottle. Clear pale gold. No head bar a few bubbles. Nose has like an orange wine character. Which makes sense. Funk. Oak. Semi sweet red wine. Stinky tannic apple. Taste is dry tannic with some stewed apple sweetness. Not entirely still, which is fine by me. Good depth. Tannins and oak to finish. It’s class no doubt but I like my bevs fizzy.
