Bottle at Zwarte Ruiter served with ice and lemon which I managed to dump. Clear light golden with small white head. Dry apple, soft apple peel, soft herbal, kiwi fruit, mineral. A bit watery, but decent dry apple character. Light sweet and bitter, very light tart. Medium bodied and medium dry. A bit bland but not a bad cider.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from local 'HIT'. Clear, pale golden with a thin, fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, a little sourish and gently fruity aroma of apple juice and a touch of pear. Gently sweet, slightly sour, quite fruity taste of ripe apples, some pear and traces of wood, followed by a short, slightly tart, moderately dry finish. Thin to medium body, minimally astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft to average carbonation. Solid cider, quite pleasant although a little too sweet for a dry cider.

White bottle. pale blonde color. Slightly sulphury apple aroma. Sweet, somewhat sulphury apple flavor. Short aftertaste. Drinkable, even a bit refreshing.

Bottle from the Booking Office. Appearance - pale yellow with a thin head. Nose - overripe but at the same time dry. Taste - juicy up front, then dry apple skins. Palate - as per nose. Not balanced. Overall - tastes like it's a blend of sweet and dry somehow.
