Bottle at Malt the Brewery, 12/08/17. Clear faded lemon yellow with a decent crown of white bubbles that collapse to the edge. Nose is funky apple, light smoke, woody, sweet and sour tunes. Tatste comprises sharp apple pucker, tannins, light smoke, caramel, apple orchard, hint of barnyard. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Decent cider ... more carbonation offered than most of this ilk which aided the drinkability for me.

Bottle at home, 25/03/17. Hazed washed out yellow / blonde with a decent white covering that retains very well for a cider .... 10 + minutes! Nose is funky, apple orchard, straw, light smoke, barnyard. Taste comprises apple, smoked meats, straw, farmy essence but lacking the funk on the nose. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Decent cider.
