Bottle (thanks fatphil). Pours pink. Aroma is sweet, sour, apples, berries. Flavor follows the nose. Has some dryness in the finish. Carbonation is high. Overall: ok, but I’m not a huge fan of using champagne yeast in cider.

Bottle (thanks marduk). Pale yellow. Aroma is apples, some sourness. Flavor is sour, sweet, apples. Body is watery, carbonation is low. Overall: not offending, but rather bad. I actually like still ciders, but this doesn’t have enough character to be enjoyable. It has the typical Jaanihanso flavors, but they doesn’t work in still cider. Not sure how much similarity there is to actual Asturian stuff, but I suspect not much.
