Bottle 75 cl. Pours a clear golden with a short and fizzy, dissipating head. Dry, slightly tart apple aroma. Medium body, a good fizz, a discreet sweetness with balanced tannins and fresh apple/pear notes. Not exactly craft but so much better than most of the stuff that passes as cider these days. 020126
