I kind of like this cider. The elderflower comes through very nicely especially in the aroma. Carbonation is slightly soft. Flavor is not too sweet not too dry you can taste the tea but it’s not overwhelming everything is actually fairly well-balanced. Quite drinkable and good.

On tap at The Beef Brothers, Edinburgh. Comes with a clear, amber color and a small white head. Sweet and sour nose, some rad fruitrs like strwaberry and raspberry. Expected something nasty sweet, but get something more sour, not really sour, but not as sweet as expected. Sugary fruits and overripe apples.

Keg at Heidrun, 29/07/17. Pale yellow with a vague head of bubbles that soon vanishes into the ether. Nose is corn, apple peel, straw, light floral notes. Taste comprises apple pie, moderately sweet, light wood. Medium bodied, fine to spritzy carbonation, drying close. Ok to average fayre.

Aus der Flasche im Loch Ness Pub Berlin im 2017-07 getrunken. Wunderbare Apfelnote wo die Säure durch eine honigartige Süsse eingefangen wird. Vollmundig und Lecker.

Aus der Flasche im Loch Ness Pub Berlin im 2017-07 getrunken. Das BA in Whiskyfässer rundet die tollen Apfelnote schön ab. Eine leichte honigartige Süsse rundet die Fruchtsäure gut ab. Recht kräftiges und harmonisches Cider.
