Description
Small-batch craft cider, made in Aberdeenshire. At Easterton, whilst not subscribing exclusively to a particular production methodology, ideology, technique or other USP, we are firm believers in high-quality, honest, consensual cider, made from apples. We’re open about how and from where we source our fruit and how we make our ciders. Currently all ciders are full-juice, and we’ll let you know should this ever change. This means that 99% of what’s in your glass is fermented apple juice (we can’t claim 100% as we do wash the fruit and barrels beforehand, so some slight H2O contamination is inevitable) – you may not be aware, but the current UK minimum legal juice requirement in cider is only 35%!

750ml bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours a rich swede golden yellow. The aroma is musty, funky, barnyard, overripe fragrant orange peel, touch of spice, damp oak, apple skin, leather, whiff of manure and some bright gooseberry. The taste is firm upfront, drying, woody tannin, leather, dried leaves, spritz of acidity, lemon sherbet, granny smith apple, gooseberry, bitter apple skin and a splash of white wine with a drying and woody finish. Medium body and quite soft and lively in the mouth.almoat akin to a classy white wine. Lovely dryness and tannin.

Sample, thanks to Danlo. Clear golden yellow appearance. Light and juicy, with mild farmhouse funk vibes. Decent.
