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.

3/10/2019. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours hazy pale yellow gold with a bubbly just off-white head. Aroma of pickled gherkins (which I'm quite partial to), plus light grassy, apple and floral notes. Very little gherkin in the taste, more semi-sweet apples with light tartness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, above average carbonation. Nice developing tartness. Not sure I'd seek it out again but as a one off I liked this.

330ml bottle from Ciderwinkel. Slightly hazy pale yellow gold colour, white foam head that retains and aroma of pickled gerkins. Taste is apple, fleshy along with sour pickled gerkin and cucumber flavours. Smooth foamy mouthfeel, light bodied, soft carbonation, dry sour finish. Interesting, quite drinkable.

Bottle. Color: Hazy orangish brown, thin light pink head. Aroma: Tart and sweet overripe apple, black currant. Taste: Overripe and slightly rotten apple, moderate to medium sweet, light to moderate tart, combined with pretty subtle notes of black currant. Moderate hopbitterness, although it seems like the hops are less present than in the Wild Tree Hoppy Cider. Pretty nice

Cinnamon, clove, fermented apple. Cardamom on the tongue, not too sweet, loads of cinnamon again. Fairly balanced although a lot is going on. Hops take a step beck in this one.

Bottle shared at home. Unclear golden with some white head. Sweet and sour apples, almond spice, lime, bit soapy method/cleaner aroma, nearing melted popsicle and citronella mosquito repellent but also quite refreshing. Quite sweet with a sour edge, mildly bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation.

Ginger for Tonny Montana. And The world's is yours! Fajne nawiazanka na etykiecie w opisie do mojego ulubionego filmy Briana De Palmy. Alez zaskakujaco poteznie tu jest z imbierem, Zapewniam ze nigdy nie pilem piwa, cydru, soku czy nawet herbaty tak okraszonej imbirem. Jest taki swiezutki, jakby korzen dopiero co starty na tarce, pachnie intensywnie i mocno drapie w gardlo, sporo tez kwaskowych jablek. Miodu nie czuc wogole, imbir zdominowal wszystko, metne, wnecz brudne. Super odjechan cydr ze az zabliznia blizne na twarzy Tonny'ego:)
