vintage 2011 Bottle (from barley wine), enjoyed while watching the OL opening show..clear yellow, no head. very nice tart and sour apple aroma, faint wood, very good cider aroma.flavor is apple, some faint fruitpeely bitterness, some dryness that can be felt on the teeth, High alc. adds a sort of bitterness to it , ABV might be a little too high. aroma is better than taste, but still a fine strong cider.
