375ml bottle at 4.2%. Pours dark caramel with a small head. Aroma is sweet vinegar and some woody notes. Not over the top. Taste has sour lemons to start, then strong candy sugars and a sweet vinegar finish. Some Sharp lemon on the aftertaste.

Pours a medium brown with a small pale head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is toffee, apples, wood. Taste is sweet - apples, pears, candi sugar, and a touch of vinegar sourness.

Pours a dark golden colour with a thin head. Aroma is sweet sugary almost pear notes. Taste is a nice balance of sweet sugar and sour aftertaste.

I quite liked this. Mildly hazy pale chestnut brown colour. Smells of candy. Sweet-sharp candy-floss flavours with hint of hazel or walnuts.

Clear and light brown with almost no head from the bubbly, soda like body. Raisin, sour green apple, bubblegum and grains. Sweet with only a light sourness in the middle. Short aftertaste. Easy to drink and quite enjoyable. (375ml bottle)

Golden amber pour clear to pale with thin off white head ... smells like a barnyard and tastes like belgian candi sugar very sweet and light sour funky apples some caramel qualities ... not very good sugary and dry with a dry sour/sweet finish meh

Clear copper colour, extremely lively, white head. Aroma is nicely balanced between acidic and sweet. Some wine and wood notes along with some berries. Flavour is nicely balanced as well, with the sour notes along with the sweetness. Grapes, berries and a subtle mustiness. Very refreshing and enjoyable.
