Keg at BD Castlegate. It pours clear pale greenish - yellow with a small bubbly white rim. The aroma is fresh, vibrant, fragrant, sweet - sour, lemon - lime, sherbet, gooseberry, white grape and crunchy green apple. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, apple skin, wood, some tannin, leather vibes, mild acidity, gooseberry, lime sherbet, vinous, white grape, hay, dull barnyard funk and a nip of booze with a bone dry finale. Lighter end of medium body and soft carbonation. Quite a grown up cider. Perhaps lacking in a touch of depth, but I am enjoying it nonetheless.
