Sweet. Sweet like silage. And other tastier treats – marzipan, treacle and raisins, boozy fermented fruits and stewed apricots. But it’s also a bit acrid. Watch out there’s petrol and white spirit and matches going around too….. FIRE!!

To some the fruitiness continues into the taste – cherries and oranges and stewed fruits again. But it’s a bit strange and there’s more depth to it too – salt liquorice, aniseed and bitter marmalade. There’s something else going on too, it’s kind of dry and tangy, like ironmongery perhaps? Or flat Tennents and skunk? Sounds like a dangerous combo… wait there’s a BBQ as well…… FIRE!!!

All that fire calls for a sprightly, lemony finish that lingers, like an Elastoplast being ripped off. It’s S-U-B-Z-E-R-O.
