Earthy apples on the nose, some dirt, not much twig, maybe a hay bag, but none of it really bright. Foam fast disappears, foggy gold body. Flavour is horse hair, hay dumped in motor oil, sharp twigs soaked in nail polish. Rough and ready for an apple cider but that's a nice change from the overly sweet ones. On the other hand, it doesn't balance well and leaves a smoky aftertaste. Would go well with a smoked cheese, I'm thinking Gouda. Now to find it somewhere....

On tap at Spinnakers, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fairly dry and acidic, with gentle acidity and dry apple skins. Flavour is earthy, with a fuzzy apple skin character. Moderate acidity, with an immensely bone dry finish. It's alright.

Bottle - Sweet Apple sauce with lots of added sugar. Cloudy gold with no head, but gushed. Apple, sweet and light tart green peel and a dry finish.
