Don't let the name put you off this, it kicks ass with very well defined bramley apple pie fruit on the nose, well balanced and elegant palate. Outstanding value.

Decent quaff - has some age to it so it showed darker & fatter but this was a bit clumsy w/pronounced oak which still pervaded nose mingling w/citrus & tropics fruit. Healthy acidic backbone & full-bodied - good value @ $12
