THT June at Kwartje HQ. Bottle. Dark golden with thin bubbly head. Sweet caramelised apples. Massive sweet apple aromas. Quite big almondy tannins. Over medium sweet and light bitter. Full body and soft carbonation. Syruppy, sticky and lovely. Not the best ice cider but goddamn this is delicious stuff. Thank you!

Cloudy Light amber colour, no head. Nice aroma of apples, farty, sugary, apple skins. The mouthfeel is flat, a bit oily, thin, some apple skins, but quite simple and with short finish.
Good, but I expected more.
