On firkin at CCB. Pours a cloudy orange-yellow with a firkin bubble head. Nose is big guava, slight calvados, some guava pulp, and slight yeast. Flavor is similar with a lot of guava, a hint of groove, light funk/ dry wine flavor, and the most subtle of hints of calvados. Light in body and interesting, although I need some search time to find the calvados.

Cask @ CCB. Poured a brilliant hazy orange. Nose is big fruit, hints of booze and brandy. Flavor is a pleasing balance between warm alcohols, brandy notes and sweet fruit beer.
