Cask Deep-chromate yellow/golden clear cider with a small rim from pouring. Mainly sweet apples and a bit of straw. Quite some sweet applejuice, as if halted fermentation, which would be strange. But tasting natural, no syrupiness. Sticky-slick, no cloying, keeps hanging around backthroat for quite some time. Decent, but not a patch on the Welsh ciders.

Bottle as Finnbarra Medium Dry Irish Craft Cider, medium sample. Clear golden color, short frothy lasting head. Aroma of apple juice, cake, slight spicy. Bit sweet in taste, mashed apples. Decent, but nothing spectacular.

500 ml. bottle sampled as “Finnbarra Dry Irish Craft Cider” @ “Kaapse Brouwers 1st Anniversary Beer Festival”. Golden. Nose is quite sweet & basic apple. Tastes a bit chemical, sulfite, makes me think of artificial sweeteners,sweet. Dry, rather meh.

500 ml. bottle sampled as “Finnbarra Medium Dry Irish Craft Cider” @ “Kaapse Brouwers 1st Anniversary Beer Festival”. Pale golden. Sweetish apple nose, light rustic note,… Light touch dry, rather sweet apple, faint candy,… Med. to dry body. Not bad at all but rather forgettable.

Draught, smallish quickly dissapearing, head, pale straw yellow colour, aroma of apple and apple skins, flavour of apples with just a spicey touch, quite sweet but with a strong empathic sourness, balancing perfectly. Very good and very easy cider.
