Bottle from Selfridges. It pours clear golden - amber with a fluffy white head. The aroma is bright, bitter - sweet apple, dried apple, crunchy fruits, candied white grape, gooseberry, lime sherbet, vinous, hay abs a touch of cereal. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, some tannin, dry oak, hay, straw, green apple, candied white grape, gooseberry crumble, dull acidity, limeade, white wine, fruit pastilles and a splash of American cream soda with a dry finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Quite a classy number. Still quite sweet even through it is a brut. Decent.

7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Can from Pret in LHR T5. It pours slightly hazy golden - yellow with a respectable white head. The aroma is fresh, quite bright, zingy citrus, grapefruit, blood orange, tropical vibes, papaya, mango, lychee, touch green and piney. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, pleasing bitterness, green, piney, fragrant, floral, pithy, zesty citrus, tropical fruits vibes, tropical/stone fruits, mango, peach, bit earthy/dirty on the base and a snap of alcohol with a drying, zesty finale. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. This is pretty nice. A big step up from the early batches I had many years back.

Keg at chandos. It pours clear deep ruby - brown with a thick, dense beige head. The aroma is actually sweeter than expected...toasty nut, chocolate, praline, toasty malts and fruit cake. The taste is smooth, roasted malts, toasty, earth, touch of umami, coffee grounds, cacao nibs, slight tannin, pipe tobacco, malt loaf and some spice. Finish is toasty and dry. Light+ body and moderate+, fluffy carbonation. Quite like this one. Bit of a disconnect between aroma and taste, bit enjoyable.
