Bottle received through the Eden Ice Cider club. Pours clear deep amber leaving some thick legs on the glass with a swirl. Smell is intense with a ripe complex mix of sweet apples, caramel, toffee, raisins, prunes, leather, moist wood, black cherries and calvados. Taste is sweet, sour and heavy fruity. Mouthfeel is soft, viscous, oily, round, tart, tiny tannic astringent, slightly boozy and near full bodied. Finish is sweet and sour with complex oxidized apples and raisins, overripe citrus fruits, caramel, wood, leather, soil and calvados. Crazy rich and intense. Oxidized in a fine sherry way. Unbelievably complex... Wow! --- Beer merged from original tick of The Falstaff on 30 Sep 2016 at 23:22 - Score: 9. Original review text: Crazy rich and intense. Oxidized in a fine sherry way.

Bottle bought through the Eden cider club. Pours tiny sparkling pale golden with a small fizzy goldenish white head that quickly dissipates without leaving any trace on the glass. Smell is fruity with tart apples, star fruit, minerals and lemon peal. Taste is fruity. Mouthfeel is sparkling, dry, very tiny tart and light bodied. Finish is fruity with tart apples, star fruit, paper and mineral water. Heavy sparkling, tiny papery but also decently fruity. Quite good even though I’d prefer something fruitier. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sparkling Dry Cider on 20 Aug 2016 at 21:37 - Score: 7. Original review text: Definitely dry and also quite sparkling. Apples, tiny yellow tropical fruits, tiny cardboard. Solid but would have liked it fruitier.

Bottle bought through the Eden Cider Club. Pours tiny hazy pale golden/yellow with no head. Smell is fruity and tiny funky with tart apples, pineapple, star fruit, hay, dry soil, paper, leather and lemon peal. Taste is very tiny sour, fruity and very tiny funky. Mouthfeel is flat, dry, slightly tart, tannic astringent and light bodied. Finish is slightly sour with tart apples, star fruit, hay, dry soil and lemon peal. Bit simple and demanding but also very tasty for what it is. Complex! --- Beer merged from original tick of Cinderella's Slipper on 20 Aug 2016 at 18:15 - Score: 7.

Bottle bought through Eden. Pours clear deep golden leaving some oily legs on the glass with a swirl. Smell is fruity and herbal with tart apples, basil, oregano, rosemary, minerals, lemon peal and alcohol. Taste is tiny sour, slightly bitter, fruity and herbal. Mouthfeel is dry, slightly tart, tiny astringent, boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sour and slightly bitter with tart apples, savoury bitter green herbs, hay, minerals, lemon peal and alcohol. Very dry and very strong. Kinda hard to muster. Tried it with lime like it was recommended on the bottle which really managed to bring the herbs, fruit and alcohol together. Solid, but not what you’d expect. --- Beer merged from original tick of Orleans Herbal on 28 Aug 2016 at 00:43 - Score: 7. Original review text: Kräftskiva. Aperitif.
