Dry cider from a traditional cider region in Spain, bottle from BeerFreakChick shared with my girlfriend. Some loose, large, off-white bubbles form during pouring, but obviously no head is formed; hazy yellow blonde colour with greenish tinge. Aroma of lots of oxidized green apple as well as red apple juice, lemongrass, something lightly sulfuric, green kiwi, lemon butter and a solventy note hovering over it all (rubbing alcohol). Crisp onset, green apple everywhere, but a red apple sweetness mediates its tartness; flat body, supple and smooth, juicy with growing apple peel (and apple seed?) astringency towards the end, even slightly bittering; ends medium try, a bit tart, but the fructose sweetness still moderates. A funky aspect shows up as well (urine, bit cheesy too), adding some depth to the whole, while that light solventy aspect briefly pops up retronasally too. Pleasant, easy to drink, juicy and mildly tart; I will probably never fall in love with cider like I did with beer, but this is a nice and very refreshing change amidst all those hundreds of beers. Enjoyed it, and who knows, maybe I'll dig a bit deeper into the cider world after all.

Bottle at the May 1st DC tasting. Poured from a few feet high, but not as high as I’m probably supposed to. Totally hazy pour, white head. Aroma was light cider notes, apple, light earthy notes. Light yeast, interesting.
