Can from BrewDog Online. It pours clear yellow with a small white head. The aroma is sweet and juicy, apple juice, candy and some tang. The taste is slightly tart, light pucker, juicy, tangy, crisp apple, apple skin and a twist of lemon with a dry finish. Light body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Works quite well. Good sweet - sour balance. Decent gear.

Half-pint shared with Finn at Scottish Stores. Cloudy golden, filmy layer, no lacing. Modest, mid-sweet apples on the nose. Rather sweet taste of apples and pears, lightly spiced. Way too sweet finish. Flat. So and so. (London 07.02.2020)

440ml can, thanks Danlo for this! Unclear golden appearance. Aroma is fruity, orangey, spicy. Unlike many blends, this does actually retain a lot of the distinct characteristics of each contribution. Nice wild influence with soft tannins and noticeable salted orangey notes from Blak Stoc.. it is pretty layered with interesting spiced fruity elements coming into play, alongside a good wild fruity base.

Taste is sweetish, mellow apple, vanilla, formic acid, woody, bourbon, and some soft tannins. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry oaky finish. Nicely drinkable.
