Bottle. O’Briens, Huddersfield. Pale, green tinged gold. Light haze. Slim ring of white head. Nose has fresh dessert apple. Preserved lemon. Vanilla oak. Touch of caramel. Rye grain. Taste has sweet vanilla first up, with a light tart and spritzy bitterness. Bright and clean on the palate, coming across like a softer carbonated version of a good sparkling wine. Crisp and lightly tart finish.

Bottle. O’Briens online shop. Soft haze on a pale gold. Fine ring of white. Nose has lemony mineral. Sliced dessert apple. Oak. Some spirit. Faint whiff of smoke. Taste is dry and lightly tart. Some apple sweetness. Crisp and light on the palate. Touch of acidity. Dry and crisp finish. Not getting much barrel character but it’s an easy drinking affair.

Bottle big thanks to Kenny. It pours hazy greenish - yellow with a fizzy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tart, tangy, zing, barnyard, funk, musty, brett, sour apple, pear skin, vinous, white wine, then it's smokey, medicinal, classic Laphroaig accents and dry oak. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, tart, puckering, light tannin, apple skin, granny smith apple, white grape, pear, vinous, gooseberry, sherbet, refreshers, lemon peel, warming and woody, initially the smoke is mellow then it ramps up, medicinal, tannin, hay and light spice with a drying, oaky finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Love it. Beer, cider, funk and Laphroaig. What's not to like? Exceptional.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, straw and orange. Flavour of minerals and orange pith. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Clean and hoppy.
