Comments: 

This is Ailsa Bay. It’s lactic, slightly yeasty, and sweet. I much preferred the OBs. This one is a little light and spirity, and despite the high ABV, isn’t very complex. Water brings out additional sweetness and some floral / herbal notes, but the yoghurt doesn’t help.

Verdict:

I like this.
