very pale, almost translucent color, with pink hues. Slight sweet nose with apple jam and roses. The palate just dies quickly with modest tannins. Bone dry. Dies too quickly.

pale white color. Stinky horse leather, attic, very musty with smelly shoes. Dry mouth with leather and attic. Very funky. Lacking body. Lots of potential with this but way too dry.

Pours white and hazy. Looks like famous Finnish long drink "Gin". Nice apple nose, light sulfur. Pretty light. Taste is super clean, some tartness and some spice but body is relatively weak and flavours, although nice and clear are relatively simple. Sharp bitter finish. Really dry and tastes fine, just not that much apple funk there - which I kind of look in ciders.

Pours light yellow, whitish or almost transparent. Nice sweetish sulfur nose, sweet apples, lightly chalky. Taste is tart, some apple thing going on there, peel bitterness, bone-dry. Quite enjoyable, dry cider. Apple character overall maybe still quite weak.
