Fermented with fresh basil and mint, this off-dry cider starts savory and floral, complemented perfectly by a tart, clean finish.

Aromas are apple cider plus something a little bit herbal. The slightest hint of basil and/or mint. Flavors are very similar to nose, maybe even less herbal.

Tap @ Keyaki Beer Festival Autumn 2017. Light golden, not much carbonation. Sweet mint and some apples in aroma. Tastes quite refreshing, mint and basil adding some bright herbal notes to otherwise medium-sweet cider. Finish more dry, some tannins. I like it.

Mouth freshing. Best cider to have before a date. Odd, but not the worst thing in the world

I wouldn’t call it mouthwash but definitely more like tooth paste. I would say the basil is actually fine but the mint is unnecessary. The flavor has more apple thus the herbs are providing a nice back end character.

On tap at Two Beers, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of basil upfront, with a touch of mint. Flavour brings out lots of basil and mint upfront, especially basil, with light acidic apples on the finish. Decent experiment - I'm just not a fan of the flavours.
