Bottled. A hazy yellow beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma has notes of lemon and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemon, brettanomyces, wood, apples, and wood, leading to a tart finish. Lovely - thanks pinball.

A light yellow cider with no head. The aroma is slightly acidic and very apply. The flavor is slightly sweet and apply with a slight acidity lingering in the back ground, which also gives it notes of lemon. In the end hints of wood comes thru.

Hazy pale blond color. Aroma of vinegar, apple skin, light wood, very light hazelnuts. Lean body, with very dry mouthfeel, the sourness is high, with lemony character and light wood touch. A bit puckery.
Aggressive and pleasant, fresh, no signs of age; it has been a good match to a plate of classic Fabada Asturiana.

Corked bottle
Dry, a bit astringent, thirstquenching but not as much complex as the best ones.
