Uniform, very carbonated (if knocked-out quite fast) metallic golden liquid with a shortlived small, translucent to white B.C."H." Dusty apples & glue; sweetish with a hint at fruit - apple - acidity. Oxydized flavour, old & dusty; finish however consisting of slightly sourish apples and much better, with a small perfumed extra, not unmindful of wild strawberries, but also partly artificial. Fizzy despite the knocked-out CO², slick and strang acidification. I’m not entirely convinced. BTW, it’s demi-sec, rather than dry.

33cl bottle in Ghana, as 4.9% Couleur dorée/brunatre tel le jus de pomme, mousse est pétillante/blanche. Arôme est moyen donnnant juste qcq touche de pomme. En bouche, un cidre léger avec une note moyenne de pomme et fine aigreur. Le tout garde cet aspect de pellure de pomme avec un fini citrique avec une touche sucrée.

33cl bottle in Accra, Ghana. Couleur dorée claire, mousse est legère et blanche diparaissant assez vite. Arôme de pomme allant sur un aspect champagne En bouche, un cidre sympa, pomme et sulfite avec un gout en bouche qui reste un peu trop citrique, de ce fait cela a tendance à dominer le palais.

Clear golden colour, slight white head which disappears fast. Scent of apples, sweetness, slight acidity and some fruit esters of which I’m not entirely sure if they came there naturally. Reminiscent of sticky pink bubblegum. Taste is rather sweet with a nice sour apple tone, though it stays with the tone only, the sour flavour itself is not really present. Somewhat artificial. When in South Africa it seemed quite allright, but even on a warm spring day in The Netherlands it can’t really enchant me anymore. Still much better than most of the Estonian ciders I’ve tasted though. (bottle, 330mL, 5,5% abv)
