50 cl bottle @ PBF Ⅸ, BBE 01.05.2017
Aroma is sour with lactic notes and hints of apples. Flavour is sour with lactic tones, some earthy notes and green apples. Rather unusual cider; instead of apples this has lactic sourness.

500ml bottle from Kris Wines. Pours pale yellow with floral aroma. Doesn’t half pack a punch on first sip, quite a big tang followed by fleshy sweet apples and vanilla essence on the finish. Lots of taste here that grows as you work through. Not bad.

Bottle at home from Rebellion brewery shop. Translucent greenish yellow with small fleeting white head. Aroma is sharp apple, some floral notes and spicy acid. Some nice fresh fruit bouquet. Flavour is fermenting funky fruit, pear, prickly pear. Medium sweet. Still medium palate. Finish is thickly spicy on the back of the throat. OK.

500ml bottle from, I think, a massive supermarket in Hampshire. Pours a clear colour and tastes like a dry white wine with next to no apples coming through at all. It did start to grow on me, but can’t say I’d buy this again.

Light sweet flavor with some sweat, funk, general basement. Light bodied with average carbonation. Fairly dry on the finish with restrained apple sugars and more dingy basement. So so.
