Bottle shared at ChrisO. Clear golden color, virtually no head. Smell and taste apple, quite vinous yet pretty sweet, a hint of grapes, a hint of sugar, slightly alcohol. Decent body and carbonation.

Sampled at the Cock Tavern. Clear very pale yellow color, no head. Smell and taste are overly sweet and sweet apple with sugar. Too sweet for me, way too sweet and sugary.
