Bottle from Bottle Shop at West Kowloon Promenade. Aroma of hops and apple - hard to tell where one begins and the other ends. Never had something like this before. A sour almost metallic taste - though not as unpleasant as that sounds. Nice though.

Bottle. Pours with a crystal clear, light straw hued body with a somewhat retentive, fizzy white head. Aromas are of apples, surprisingly, but actually surprisingly, some tropical fruit (terroir it seems works with grapes, hops and apples). Musty, soil, sauvignon blanc, suntan lotion, light sulfur. Flavors are off dry (some medium sweetness), with good acidity, but low tannin. A very low chlorophenol in the background is slightly distracting (bandaid/smoke/burnt plastic...all very light). Some tropical fruit as well in the character. Slightly mineral. Lighter bodied with moderate carbonation. Not half bad for what seems to be a generic NZ cider.

Bottle. Hazy yellow, scant bubbles. Aroma of dusty and fleshy pear, subtle citrus. Taste is semi sweet fruit. Full bodied. Decent.
