On tap at the Gertrude Hotel, pours a cloudy blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out notes of red apples, gentle acidity and whiskey barrels. Flavour is fairly boozy, with the whiskey notes upfront, followed gentle acidity and crisp dry red apples. Nice stuff. Not overt harmonious but it's a very interesting, slow sipper. Enjoyable.

Had this strong one at the cidery. Had just a drop of this but it was dry, quite acidic with a really bright apple character and a hint of earthiness.
