Draught @ De Mederie. Pours a reddish amber with a faint mist. An apt cider for today. Fruity blueberry nose, wild air. Quite a robust acidic tang from the start here, sharp wild blueberry, natural wild nuances, long acidic linger. Lovely.

10cl bottle pour @ De Mederie. Clear deep purple appearance. Rich stewed dark fruits on the nose, continuing to taste a touch syrupy, sticky with light honey drifting through.. bags of flavour overall.

10cl pour @ De Mederie. Pours a clear deep purple. Rich dark berry fruitiness on the nose. Flavour profile is similarly intense with stewed dark fruits and non-imposing honey swirls, richly sweet overall with light red wine nuances emerging in due course. Great sipper.

Draught @ De Mederie. Pours blood red with a fine mist. No head, strangely. Medium bodied. Excellent wild nuances complemented by a mild blueberry presence. Best of the afternoon.

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!
