Bottle from Vine Yard, Swanage. Dry apple peel aroma, with a vague grassiness to it. Pale gold. Visibly bubbly albeit the head only lasts a few seconds. Initially light sour with underlying sweetness which provides some pep. The sourness than increased with a touch of bitterness. The hops are not particularly noticeable. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. It's fine. Muted perhaps.
