Bottle set from Pilton. It pours cloudy clear orangey copper with a few bubbles on too. The aroma has a good amount of sweetness, juicy, oily, sugary, candy, appletizer, dried apple, powdery, dried apple, apple tango and leafy vibes. The taste is intially soft, rather sweet (a lot more so than other versions), sticky, juicy, oily, some dryness creeps in, light tannin, toffee apple, apple pie, touch of wood and white sugars with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Sweeter for sure, maybe to much. Enjoyable anyhow.
