500 ml bottle from trade with Cunningham. Clear dark golden body without any head and moderate carbonation. Quite refreshing apple in aroma, mature sweet apples with apple core and a hint of wood. Flavor is medium sweet to dry, nice apple flavor, apple cores and slightly bitter wood. Medium body and decent aftertaste. Quite pleasant without presenting anything really special.

Bottle sample @ RBBWG 2016, thanks René. Léger orangé, col fin blanc disparaissant vite. Pomme sur des notes herbacée, le tout est sec mais gardant une petite dose d douceur. Râpeux en bouche avec qcq tanins, pomme cara en toute fin de bouche. Reste fraiche, sans vraiment avoir trop de complexité.
