Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2021-09 getrunken. Dieses rose-farbende Cider ist in der Nase und am Gaumen leider etwas langweilig. Warum ein Flieder/Pflaumen Cider? Egal es wirkt leblos und fruchtig - mehr nicht.

(750ml 2018/batch 2 bottle from the cidrey webshop) Pours almost clear very pale straw colour with a small white ring of bubbles and no remaining purple cast. Aroma of perfumed lilac blossoms dominating over soft tart plum flesh and slightly tannic skins, a somewhat herbal component with the floral, apple notes definitely secondary with a light dusting of funk and a little lactic tartness. Flavour is moderately tart up front and actually rather sweet by mid-sip on, with bright plum acidity and a little apple hitting first and then richer plum flesh, tannin and lilac build in the middle, leaving a finish that's actually off-dry and reminiscent of a perry from a floral pear cultivar (good call from my better half!). Long aftertaste of plum flesh and skin, lilac, soft herbs and that lovely perry vibe. Light to medium bodied with fairly low but filling carbonation. Lovely stuff here, with a depth and complexity from the lilac that really stands out.
