Hazy and very pale greenish-yellow colour, pours sparkling with a small and shortlived white head. Interesting aroma of apple varieties that are not found in Northern Europe. Dry flavour of apples, some fruity acidity.

Cute, unique, rounded, stemmed neck, 375ml bottle from Astor Wines. Cheapo stemless wine glass @home. Rich, orange-y, better check your kidneys, urine color. Smells sour & heavy of glue & solvent, backdrop of leafy greens, bolder tail of vinegar & gum. Taste is fun & confusing. I think it starts out like a Spanish sidra, but it's juicier, the middle has like a splash of mango nectar. Super tropical & kinda sweet, but contrasting the bitter & sour endgame. In the middle there is this very green bitterness that persists all the way through. Vinegar is doable. Wild funk gets overlapped by the acidity & fresh fruit. Natural sulphites, but not harsh. Not another Spanish sidra. Sharp but sparse - still fermenting bubbles, juicy & thick, but filtered & smooth. Prickly feel after it's all gone. Alcohol is there, but hits like a well mixed cocktail. Lots of fun. Definitely different. Good.
