Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of dusty hops, yeast, malt, and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, malt, spices, and yeast, leading to a tart finish.

Tap @ ANXO, Washington, DC. Pours clear, nearly transparent, cery pale straw with no head. Clear aroma of fart, wet rag and dust, with notes of crisp apples of yesteryear. Crisp, slightly vinous flavour of matured apples. Lingering, dry afteraste. Not bad, just a little surprising.

Draft consumed in honor of Sarky Northener, cheers! Crystal clear pale yellow color, big white head that settles quickly, see pic please. Aroma of sourdough bread, apple skins, lemon rind. Taste has lightly tart apple skins followed by lemon, then a very quick clean bone dry finish. Not complex but very tasty.

500ml bottle. Poured a clear yellow color, very brief, fizzy white head. Aroma was crisp apple. Light tart notes, some light sharp light smoke notes. Flavor was crisp and a touch dry. Light sweetness comes through in this one. Pretty tasty.

500ml bottle. Poured a clear yellow color, fizzy head that disappears moments after pouring. Aroma was crisp apples, light tart, mild white wine notes. Fiance commented that it was very similar to wine. Crisp and a touch dry. There’s alcohol here, but it’s masked pretty well.
