Many thanks to Thirstybird for this bottle! Fresh fruity appley nose. The cider starts sweetish-round. Dry with tart cider apples. Deep with a nice and moderate sweetness. Round and easy to drink, fresh and sessionable, nice and slightly sweetish apples in the aftertaste. All in all a nice and sessionable cider, that is slightly sweetish but still dense and fruity.
