Rated as "Special Release", 500ml bottle.
The cider starts smooth, fruity and easy to drink. The mainpart is nice winey-tart, still fruity. In the aftertaste fruity-tart, not too dry with great cider-apple flavour.
Nice! --> 11/12/12/11

Bottle from Dicey Reilly’s, Ballyshannon [100414]
Light golden, clear, thin bubbly rim around glass, good carbonation
Aroma - soft fairly sweet apple, fairly tart as well
Taste - quite tart apple, some tannic notes, dab of apple flesh, better flavours when the fizz subsides
Palate - Moderate carb, quite tart and crisp palate. Dry finish.
Overall - I prefer ciders more sweet juicy and less of that tannic note but it’s not a bad cider at all

Bottle. Light hazy yellow with a thin head. Aroma and flavour are mild apple, fruity and not overly sweet on a dry finish. Refreshing.
