Sampled thanks to Beerhunter111! Golden apple juice. Nose is basic apple juice, bit mineral & dirty. Taste is plain apple juice but finish is this harsh lingering overly alcoholic raw plastic. Body is plastic & apple. That finish is just unpleasant & not very good, they should try again at a lower ABV I think. Far from good in the style.

Bottle brought back from Lithuania. The cider starts fruity and intense. Very concentrated with a deep sticky not too sweetish cider body. Winey hints, deep intense, fruity with a great sweetish appley aftertaste. Nice!
