Great bready yeasty nose,
Creamy mouthfeel, with all sorts of citrus smacking me in the face.
Lime! Tangerine! Lemon grass! Zippy!
Wow, this is my 3rd English sparkling, and it is amazing.

When in England... these were quite good, medium plus body, some strawberry flavors, and a nice bit of tartness.

My first bubbles from Britain, but certainly not my last. Firm and fabulous and delicious. Surprising depth and length.
