330ml bottle from Barrel & Batch, St Peters. Rich orangey coppery-gold colour, white foam head that quickly dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of juicy apple, with baked & caramel notes. Taste is sweet, juicy, rich, apple sauce, honey, with a custard hint, and some tart acidity. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, light carbonation, sweet rich apple finish. Quite OK.

(Can) Pours cloudy amber with no head. Pleasant aroma of apples, with hints of orange and ginger. Full body with lovely fine carbonation. Excellent full rich flavour, again primarily apples. There’s a good balance of citrus tartness and very ripe apple sweetness. There’s some orange notes and earthy hints and medicinal herb hints. The alcohol is not apparent. Very nice.

330ml bottle, bought from Pilango, 2 years out of date. Pours clear gold. Aroma of syrupy stewed apple fruit. Taste is sweet, slightly perfumed and floral, syrupy sweet, some caramel, some lime. But given the best before I'm not sure it tastes as it should. Doesn't taste bad, just very colourful.

330ml bottle from Pilango online. Pours clear gold, small white ring atop that persists. Aroma is a touch syrupy, pear concentrate. Taste is similarly syrupy, sweet perry pear fruit, generally clean with no woody perry notes. Fine, if a little sweet.
