This is the same cider as the Brown Snout sparkling, but it was intended to be still, rather than our usual bottle conditioned affair. Nature conspired against me however, as malolactic in-bottle fermentation gave this bottle a very gentle sparkle. Enough to not be distinct from the bottle conditioned variant, and too much to be described as still! However, the outcome is perfect to keep the cider tasting fresh and alive.

750ml bottle from Cat in the Glass. Orangey gold colour, some short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of apple, fruity, woody oak, funky, earthy. Taste is sweetish, apple, juicy, fruity, tangy, woody, oak, vanilla, citric, with some mucky funk and dry tannins. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.
