Quince cider. 500ml bottle from Press online. Pint glass @home. Clear, frothy, pale gold pour. Looks a bit like a beer. Bitter-sharp, dry pineapple, apple core. Missing the huge floral nose found in the last few west coast quince bottles. Taste is nicely dry with sour fruit, most like floral pineapple & a lingering, bitter-tart apple. Reminds me of softer, more astringent, cold climate-grown quince. Or there is just a lot of undocumented bitter-tart apple in this. Anyway, it's overtly crispy, forced carb, thin, pleasantly astringent with a somewhat hidden abv & it drinks itself quickly. Cheers.
