Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 16/06/22. Clear golden with a well enough sized white cap as it goes for a cider ... soon dissipates to spotting. Nose is funky apple, oak, tannins, caramel, stewed apples. Taste comprises bitter sweet apple, light funk, oak, tannins, orchard wood. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Decent crisp and refreshing cider.
