Description
Our brewmaster Karl fermented his first cider as a young schoolboy, many years before he was of legal age to taste it. Since then, he has never stopped experimenting with all sorts of fruits and flavors. This passion for natural ingredients and the wonders of fermentation is shared by our team and is reflected in our range of innovative ciders.

Clear, yellow colored, small white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity, some citrus and floral hoppy notes, light cider apple tartness. Taste is medium sweet apple juice, citrus, floral hops and some tropical fruits, medium- bitterness, light tartness. Medium- bodied, lively carbonation, refreshing. Sweet cider, overpowered by the hops in the aroma but well balanced in the flavor. (bottle, Bierboutique, Graz)

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Stas. Cloudy pale yellow. Nice aroma of apples, fruity hops, a sulphur note. Tart flavor with a sweetish note, with apples, fruity hops, and a faint bitterish note in the finish. Nice one.

At Craft Bier Fest Wien. The other fruits add a layer of complexity to this cider. However they somewhat obscure the hoppiness compared to the standard one. This is very good as well but I liked the unfruited version better.

At Craft Bier Fest Wien. Quite interesting. Apple character is overwhelmed by hops IMO. But it makes for an interesting easily drinkable and very moreish drink with citrusy zesty piney hops.
