Billabong Apple Beer

Gluten-free samples now available mainstream at the Beer Store Morley.
Fresh crushed ’Pink lady’ on the nose, some ’Majestic’ evident, this aroma is supple but full, fruity and distinctive, as well as sweet to go abridge product description. Cider in the glass: pale, lemon-toned yellow and sparkling. Carbonation is light, tight and fine, no head. Added hint of strawberries on the nose before I quaffed. You could ask what happened, the aroma was full, dense; the palate is heaving dry everything. So thin, effervescent. Apple here, but so dry, attenuated away - don’t think there is much else. Another mouthful, I am sure, apple or bust, it manages to add a tang as it warms - as indeed it did since I started to tire. Gluten free, an absolute gem space saver drink - again a life saver so close to a dry cider - but the monotone just didn’t grasp my attention. Not much here! (0866, 33cL)
