Growler from LCB. Clear light gold, no head. Aroma has a drying apple peel, some sulphur, light freshy apple and blossom background. Taste is fairly sweet, tangy with a slight sugar-syrup note although apple flavour doesn't taste artificial. A semi-drying, slick mouthfeel, with subtle carbonation is very nice. Could do with a bit more flavour notes but its decent.
