Bottle shared during the RBESG 2014 London Grand Tasting - Moncada Brewery. Pours mostly clear gold with a faint creamy white head. Nice cider with notes of tangy apple, light apple sauce sweetness, some mild dry mustiness. Light bodied with average, spritzy carbonation. Clean and lightly drying on the finish with pleasing tart green apple. Nice.
