On tap @ Restaurante El Horno de Aralar (Asador Sidreria) in Pamplona, Spain. As a part of a cider lunch menu the cider was available on self-service tap as a “drink as much you want” concept. Unclear golden body with a small and fast disappearing white head. Quite strong apple aroma, mostly apple cores and some acidity with a hint of yeast. Flavor is acidic sour apple, but compared with other sidra natural it’s not among the sourest one. Balanced body with a long lasting, tart aftertaste. A fine and refreshing accomplishment for my lunch and probably a nice cider to start with if not familiar with the acidic Basque ciders.

Out of the barrel in the wall in a Sidraría in Bilbao. Smooth fresh beginning. Easy to drink, fresh, nice tart sourish apples. Fresh with woody-sourish hints. Nice tart apples with a low level of tannins. Nice sour dry finish! Great.

Re-rate 8/20/13: Bottle sample at a tasting at LiBira pub. Thanks YK23. 6%. "Cosecha 2010". Slightly hazy golden. Aroma of apples, a bit of sulphur and a bit of funky oak notes. Dry sourish apples flavor. Nice and easy-drinking. 7/3/7/3/14=3.4
Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks YK23. 6%. Hazy golden. Musty aroma of green apples, a bit of wood and a hint of sugar. A rather dry sourish flavor with green apples fruitiness, citric hints and faint lactic hints. Light-bodied. Refreshing and tasty. 6/4/7/3/14=3.4

Had this at Mundaka campsite, Basque Country, Northern Spain sat outside Frank (camper) 06.07.11 Pours sunshine yellow. This is a touch tart from the off with a citrus aroma which is subtle along with the apple also subdued. Tartness and tanginess build, I tend to get citrus a lot more in the Basque ciders than I do with the Asturian ciders. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2

Bouteille (anno 2009) 375ml, 6% achetée @ San Sébastian. Une très belle couleur rappelant le vin blanc. Un léger trouble de levure tourbillonne dans le fond. Arôme est effectivement de pur jus de pomme laissant transparaitre une aigreur fruitée. En bouche, on a un cidre typique de cette région basque. Beaucoup de pommes aigres/citronnée, note ce côté un peu épicé du murissement en tonneau avec une levure qui reste fine au palais. Agréable à déguster, on ressent de suite ces notes de vergers, pommes fraiches avec une levure qui laisse ce petit picotement.

Opaque blond color; traditionally served pouring from 1 meter above the glass! Nice aroma: citric and acidic notes, apples and pears. Very citric taste, with some residual sweetness. Much more sour than the French ones. Very interesting.
