Bottle, 75cl corked. It's a clear one, golden in color, with a few bubbles. No head. Fresh, apple aroma with some generic sour fruityness. Sort of grassy, herbal and spiced too. It's full-bodied, nicely carbonated and quite dry on the palate, with a light alcohol warmth. Apple juice, some apple cores and apple peel, sourness, almost lemony, with a faint cellar hint in the flavor. Dry apple driven flavor. Nothing particular going on, but very pleasant anyway. 230111
