I had a bit of a problem with the first batch as it stuck and it was a real hassle to get it to ferment out finally did and its been bottled and at first look its quite lively when poured but VERY dry has more of a wine taste to it have found that it is quite palettable if mixed with lemonade
opinion is divided some like some don't

Will make it again but in smaller quanitity and use less lemon
