Pale lemon. Pronounced primary aromas of citrus fruits (lime, grapefruit) green fruit (green apple) and passion fruit. Also elderflower and gooseberries. Fresh cut grass and green peppers. Grapefruit takes the primary aroma. On the palate it's dry with a petillance texture (strange for 2015, but it is screwcap) amazingly lively for being in bottle for 1,5 years. More of that citrus fruit (grapefruit, lime peel, lemon peel and kiwi) on the palate. Medium+ acidity and medium+ alcohol (13,5 and you can feel it, perhaps the only thing making it seem Californian). Medium body, medium+ intensity of flavors. Medium+ finish.

Bright, clean and all things in between. Pungent citrus, gooseberry, nice acid and easy drinking.
