750 ml. bottle. Batch 251, 252. Pours a thick white head, with lots of lacing, over a cloudy, pale yellow (SRM 3) body.....nose is citrus, apple vinegar, Belgian barnyard funk, ginger, cedar....taste is combination of citrus, apple, tiny bit of sweet, finishing with a lingering bitterness...mouth feel is light, carbonation high. Over all this is very reminiscent of scrumpy.

Flavor is tart and dry at the start. Very dry and earthy in the middle with a dry and tart finish. Almost like a carbonated chardonnay.

Nov 26, 2009 Subtle fruit taste with a striking champagne finish...mainly from the carbonation. I smelt and tasted cherries and oranges. It felt soft, crisp & buttery on my tongue.
