Possibly the best cider i’ve had which is admittingly few. Poured as starter prior to tasting menu at Blanca. Its bubbly and champagne like in glass. Nose of tart apple skin and wild yeast. Tastes of apples, barnyard, maybe Brett, woody, grass, some vanilla. super lively on palate and so friggin good great way to set off this amazing meal.

Bottle at Applepalooza 2012. Some bubbly to get in the mood. Good call.
Wine glass. Clear, pale gold body. A splash of champagne fizz.
Bright, crabby nose. Interesting barny/sweat undertone. Seaweed.
Taste is bittersweet skin & slight brine. A touch of dessert apples, but overall pretty dry. Moderately tart citrus. Just a touch of wild, yeasty funk.
Tight, rounded carbonation. Quenching acid. Mellow alcohol. Satisfying.
Great stuff. :)
