15cl Bottle pour @ De Mederie. Unclear hazed purple. Found this a little herbal, nettley, maple syrup seems low in the mix, coarse coffee notes.. Didn't do it for me unfortunately.

Draught @ De Mederie. Pours an unclear pale gold. Aroma of bittersweet apple fruit. Natural cider air, a moderate sour tang with richly sweet apple fruit. Nicely done.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 30.06.2025) im 2025-08 getrunken. Dieses gelbe Cider kommt mit kräftigen Aromen von bitteren Äpfeln und funky Pferdeäpfel/Misthaufen-Noten, wo gerade letztere anfangs schwer einzuordnung sind. Aber nach etwas Arbeit am Glas mit diesen eher ungewöhnlichen Aroma bleibt im Glas ein echt spannendes Cider.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 30.08.2025) im 2025-08 getrunken. Dieses purpurne Ale kommt mit eine tollen Aroma-Kombination aus dunklen Beeren, Wein, leichten Farmhousenoten und leichter Hefe. Ein tolles Bier für den Sommer!

From tap at Constellation, Budapest, 19.07.25. Translucent golden straw colour. Excellently complex aroma and taste of sour wild apples, wild apple yeast, and a hint of brett. Dry and slightly astringent mouthfeel. Good!

Aus der Flasche (bbe 30.06.2025) im 2025-07 getrunken. Schon beim Öffnen strömt ein kräftiges Beeren Aroma aus der Flasche. Dieses purpurne, trüber Cider zeigt dann im Glas sein Apfel-Aroma und die Beeren-Aromen treten in den Hintergrund. Am Gaumen zeigt das Dry Cider wo recht bittere Äpfel das Aroma beherrschen was sicherlich überraschend war. Aber nach 3-4 Schluck überzeugt dieses spannende Cider.
