75cl bottle. Murky orange, totally fading pale head. Very yeasty nose, green apple juice, little solvent and toffee, even alcohol, messy as hell. Spritzy green apples flavor, little minerals, cellary yeast, little toffee sweetness. Light bodied, a bit watery and oily palate. Wow, I can’t see what they were reaching for here, light but all over the place.

Bottled (from Cracked Kettled). Hazy deep orange colour, small beige head. Aroma is apple, some slight sourness, spicy and earthy yeastyness as well as some slight wooden and cookiesh notes.
