2009 bottle. It’s neither sour, nor sweet. And it’s not very fruity either. This is a light and well balanced cider. The stand out thing about it is the quite bitter finish. Good complement to food.

Small white head doesn’t last. Deep yellow body with carbonation. Mature apples aroma with honey notes. Dry-sweetish earthy honeyish raisiny apples taste with wooden sulphury notes. Mild mouthfeel. Light body. Very dry long raisiny honeyish aftertaste. Really nice, and highly drinkable. Leaves sticky sugars on lips. (0.75l bottle, nobody really knows from where.)

2006 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a huge white head that has huge retention (cider with this much and long lasting head?) over a clear golden body. Aroma is odd, at first some poached salmon, cedar, wood, apple core, and must. Taste is light manure, bandaid, fruit and apple stems. Fizzy and dry.

Bottled. Cork came out flying like mad, luckily the glass was ready and closeby, so not too much spilled. Pale yellow colour with small sparking white head that disappears fast. Aroma is pear, some mild blue cheese and some mild green apple like notes. Flavour is quite much the same with some slight wood to it as well. Quite tart and dry-palated perry.

Bottled. A golden cider with a rim of beige head. The aroma is very apply with a light touch of wood. The flavor is sweet and very apply, leading to a tart finish. The body is light.
