Acid cider seems to be an official category, and it is represented by a cider expert to me as a style well displayed by this one. The cider pours a very light, perfectly clear, yellowish wattery look. Scent is dry, harsh apples, rather mild in intensity. Taste is acidic indeed, but that's not the main focus of this drink. it shows a beautifull apple aroma, and a dryness which, in combo with the high, yet small-bubbled carbonation, reminds one of champagne. Very nice crossover between sparkling wine and cider, with a palate that could be loved by geuze drinkers.
