750ml bottle pours a clear gold with zero head. Nose has plain old apple, green apple skin, mild honey, earthy notes. Flavor is tart, sweet, buttery, apple skins, white grapes. Clean finish. Not much "wild" about this.

Bottle courtesy of nimbleprop, thank you sir! Hazy pale yellow color. Aroma of dusty dry apple skins. Taste is equally dry and slightly dusty apple skins. Tasty.

Thanks to JoeMcphee for sharing - I kind of like the fact that it’s become a tradition to have at least one cider at our tastings - it really breaks things up - hazy golden, fairly fizzy pour - aroma of funk ’n’ fruit skin, with some phenolic notes and a mild sour/tart (brett?) character - the flavor is more mild than the aroma suggests, with some light acidity, whole apple tartness (with the skins really coming through), and background funkiness - it sure hides that alcohol well though - I’d still take this over champagne.
