Keg at Brewdog Waterloo, 21/09/22. Cherry red with a fast collapsing crimson cap. Nose is modest apple, glazed cherries, straw. Taste comprises cherry stones, residual sugars, light tannins, pink lady apple skins. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. OK fruited cider ... doesn't run silly sweet like some of its compatriots but not getting much apple presence.

Bottle from DogTap. It pours very pale almost greenish gold with a tiny white head. The taste is somehow sweet, sour and savoury, tangy crunchy apple, definite sake / rice pudding, melon, white wine, grain husk and hay. The taste is fairly sweet upfront, juicy, tangy, crunchy, sherbet, sweet white grape, green apple skin, limeade, white grape, melon, savoury, splash of sake, rice pudding, hit of acidity and light umami with a dry finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Quite interesting stuff.
