0.75l bottle shared by Loz (thx Loz's sister!)! Huge aroma, honeyish dry, big sticky cherry aroma, huge almonds really. Lean, dry taste, light honey, odd sour cherry flavoring, ends dry, bitterish by the finish. Seems fake, not a fan.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pours a clear gold, small white bubbly head which dissipates. Aroma of funk and dessert apples. Taste is sweeter and more fruity with apple than the aroma suggests, slightly syrupy, light funk, bittersweet and semi-dry in the finish. Nice spritzy carbonation which is not overdone. Turned out to be a very nice session like cider.
