Clear pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of apples, wood notes, sweet white wine, apple peel, light brett notes. Dry light bitter flavour, light funk, earth, dry white wine (but without any of the sourness). Bone dry. Lingering dry finish, apple, brett-like notes. Man, I love this stuff. Great cider!

Bottled@my birthdaybash@Chriso. Yellowish golden colour, no head. Aroma and flavour are both rather sweet, but dry apples along with some mild tartness and vanilla as well. Refreshing.

Bottled at oh6gdx’s birthday bash at chriso’s. Clear golden. Rich aroma of rip red apples. Mid sweet with medium body. Soft and gently sparkling with rich, deep flavour of mature appless. A citric touch of apple skins, marked tanninic bitterness. Really good!
