Gorgeous clear gold with soft rosey-pink shine; no head of course. Soft, delicate apple smell, interspecked with alcohol and an aroma of peach skin. Sweetish, faint mint and sage flavours, obvious apple, and mild touch of bitterish-sourish-tart, but all quite subdued. Explosive MF, titillating and velvety at the same time. Respectable alcohol impression. This is absolutely great, and yet at the opposite end of my usual favoured cider (West-country and South-Wales farmyard ciders). It’s delicate and powerful at the same time. Lubière, merci, this is just great.
