Bottle at home, rain delay in the Ashes, picked up from either a beer store or a supermarket in the Newry area, 18/06/23. Clear golden copper with a good sized cap of off white thinly knit bubbles that soon dissipates to spotting and a swirl. Nose is sweet apple pulp, sugar dusting, light honey, grains. Taste comprises sweet apple, light tannins, trace of honeycomb, sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. It's okay but overly sweet for my liking.
