Bottle, from a trade with cunningham. A clear, golden beer topped by a few off-white bubbles. Too much sulphur on the nose and in the flavor, but there’s quite a lot of apples and some apple cores as well both in the nose and the mouth. It’s medium bodied, quite dry, and with a soft carbonation. Long finish. A decent one indeed, but there’s too much sulphur going on. 151114

50cl bottle from Cunningham - thanks a lot! Pours clear golden with a small, white head. Aroma of ripe apples, lightly yeasty notes. Nice fruity flavours, sweet, but balanced with some acidity. Decent cider! --- Beer merged from original tick of Traditional on 03 Oct 2015 at 21:50 - Score: 7
