Avis professionnels

Serge Valentin (83)

Colour: straw. Nose: boo, no roses, rather plenty of barley sugar and water, plus apples, some marzipan, orange squash (even Fanta) and more and more lemonade. Indeed, there’s a kind of fizziness, and yet I can’t spot any very tiny bubbles. That’s fun and certainly fresh. Also a touch of mint. Another readymade Scottish mojito? Mouth: it’s a rather excellent fruity Speysider, full of ripe apples, oranges, and again, barley sugar. Funnily enough, that fizziness is still there as well, but that’s more on the peppery side. Notes of liquorice allsorts. Finish: quite long, with some sweet and bitter ales. Comments: if I write ‘goody good’, will that be enough?
