Description
Not quite sure where this brewery is actually based.

A now merged brewery came in as being from Nederburg, South Africa but the 'Crafty Brands' located there is permanently closed, according to Google Maps, whereas the website seems quite alive.

Another address that I found is "Wildepaardejacht, Klein Drakenstein, Nederburg", but that's on a different location.

Both locations are in the city of Paarl, but the one I merged into is in Grabouw, where it currently is residing for BV.

The website claims the company to be based in London ( SXOLLIE, 15 Spring Bridge Mews, Ealing, W5 2AB )

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Chilled. Pale yellow colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of pear with hints of vinegar and funk. Taste is pear, mellow sweet, tart with fruity, gooseberry and white wine notes. Watery mouthfeel, light bodied, medium carbonation, dry fruity tart finish. Quite drinkable.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Golden colour, white foam head that dissipates away and aroma of juicy apple. Taste is mellow fruity apple, apple juice, sweet, sugary, hint of honey. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, some residual sweetness at the finish. OK.
