A fresh, earthy and rebellious cider with a fierce and tangy soured apple edge. This is a feisty but proper cider with a twist for those brave enough to try something different.

As heat records for the start of May are broken it seems fitting to switch to an evening of ciders tonight, so this is the first, classed as a sour cider, but it's more of a heavy bitterness to its quite stated apple. The strength of the drink and tanginess of the fruit give it plenty of depth.

Draft @ Dynamo.
Couleur oscille entre un doré pâle et orange, col blanc éparse.
Arôme offre un bouquet de pomme acerbe assez marqué, le tout est très frais, crushed apple, acidité en rétro.

Palais est crisp et acerbe, pomme avec une belle tenue, un peu sur l'aigre et une fine douceur sous-jacente qui offre une petite note de vanille. L'acidité fine se démarque en retrait, le tout est grinçant aux dents avec une petit clin d’œil terreux.
