(750ml bottle from the cidery webshop) Pours clear straw yellow with a small but stable white head without lace. Aroma is pale oranges, lightly sugared lemons, underripe nectarine and apricot, a little cripsy apple of course, lightly funky, bright acidity. Flavour is moderate plus tart, citric and a little lactic, bright lemon, apricot, yellow plum, unripe pineapple, light tannins, just a little funk, tart apple into the finish, lactic and tingling acetic acid, barest hint of sweetness. Fairly long finish despite some minerality. Light to medium body, bright bottle-conditioned carbonation. One of the brighter and more tropical all-apple ciders from Revel. I enjoyed this one a lot, nice balance of acidity...quenching without being sour.
