Chef Paul Kahan's Publican Cider is a blend of a few distinct ciders, each of which is a blend of several Michigan heirloom apple varieties. One more tart, another more fruity, one left on it's lees for months. The resulting blend is a very complex cider, with notes of both English and French style ciders.

15.10.2018, 0,75l bottle (2013 vintage) shared with friends @ home:
Small slightly bubbly-creamy mediumlasting head, cloudy. Aroma is slightly dry sour-ish fruity, sour apples, brett, minerals, apple peel, barnyard, wash cloth, hints of sulfur. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish mineraly, weeds, apple cores, sour apples, minerals, grass, hay, paper, apple peel, barnyard, yeast, hay. Medium bitterness, slightly watery and dry sour-ish fruity mouthfeel. Fair enough, over the top I guess...

Taste is tangy apple, apple skin, tart, with some fruity citric, woody & barnyard notes, and drying tannins. Light bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry fruity sour tannic finish. Quite drinkable.
