Tap @ Schilling Cider House, Seattle. Pours pale yellow, lightly misted. Aroma has a gently sharp fruity profile, though not jumping out as a Spanish sidra style. Taste has a slick acidic wine-like fruity profile, with a light oak influence. Again, not jumping out as a Sidra style cider, but decent for what it is.
