500ml bottle from Orchard Box. Pours an orangey golden colour with a foamy white head that dissipates away. Nose of fruity apple, barnyard. Flavour is tart, tangy apple, apple skins, some funk, leather, caramel and dry tannins. Slightly oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, drying tannic finish. Quite drinkable.

0.5L bottle (from Siidrimaja). Pours hazy orange-amber with whiteish head. The head doesn’t stay. Aroma is sour, sweet, somewhat metallic, some horse manure (from sniffing the bottle). Flavor is mild sweetness, apples, some sourness, some dryness. Finish is dry bitter with some booze and sugar. Body is bit thin, but the dryness in the finish makes up for it. Overall: another good cider from these guy(s). Honestly if all ciders were as good as Ross on Wye ciders, I would drink a lot more ciders. You can call me a fanboy of them :)
