Aroma of eating apples and blackcurrants, hints of hay. Flavour mainly of apples, moderate notes of blackcurrants. Some fruity sweetness, but not too much - still quite crisp. Decent as an aperitif, or with food. Well balanced, easy drinking.

Bottle, 75cl corked. A clear, lightly sparkling straw colored cider with no bubbles on top. The aroma has a delicious grapefruity, piney hoppiness, with some tropical fruityness. Yellow apple in the back. It's medium to full bodied, with a quite high but pleasant carbonation level. Mostly on the dry side, with some sweet fruityness. Fortunately not any bitterness. The flavor too is quite hop dominated, with fresh apple juice in the back. Hints of orange zest. Lingering hop and apple flavor. Sure nice, refreshing and tasteful, but even though I really like what the hops bring to the table, I think they take too much focus from the apples. 230926
