Cidermaker's Barrel from Old Hill Cider

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
From a bottle shared at a local homebrew club meeting. Pours a crystal clear pale yellow color with no head. Aroma of grainy apples and pear, earth and dandelion. The taste is apples, wood, earth, an almost mushroomy note, the faintest whisky note and a slightly bitter finish. Medium bodied. Certainly different and quite nice.
