Tap. Pale gold, hazy. Fruity nose, apple, lemon, white grapes. Tangy fruity flavor, lightly tannic, not sour but a bit of acid, medium sweetness. Nice, full flavor for a beer-like cider. Very enjoyable and crushable, but still gives something to ponder.

(Bottle) Pours hazy straw with no head. Aroma is apples. Light body rather fizzy. Great taste - apples and toffee notes. Very good cider.

Sample, thanks Danlo for this! Pale gold appearance. Strong nutty sweet nose. Continues to taste, quite mellow for the strength.. expected it to be a little boozy, but it's quite pleasantly balanced with a prominent sweet whisky influence, oily on the palate with a drying close. Decent.
