750ml wired cork bottle from Scrattings. When attempting to open the cork self-ejected with an extremely loud pop (many thanks to FatPhil's rating for the warning)! Sparkling pale golden colour, fizzy white foam head and aroma of funky fruity apple. Taste is sweetish, juicy apple, leathery funky, with some drying tannins. Foamy mouthfeel, light bodied, spritzy carbonation, semi-dry funky tannic finish with residual sweetness. Nicely drinkable. Very good considering the low 3% abv.
