Description
Went bankrupt in 2024, but continued with change in ownership in 2025.

Vaak worden appels uit hoogstamboomgaarden niet geoogst omdat de oogst, ladder op en af, niet rendabel is voor appels die te klein of te groot zijn voor een winkelschap, of die een vlekje hebben. Als we er cider van maken is dit een ander verhaal: het gaat ons om de smaak van het sap. En doordat we van de oogst een mooie buitenactiviteit maken, waar velen van jullie bij geweest zijn, is het arbeidsintensieve karakter van de oogst geen probleem maar een mooie ervaring!

Bottle. Color: Very pale yellowish red, no head. Aroma: Moderate tart apple and plum, funky. Taste: Moderate tart apple, appleskin and plum. Quite funky, horse blanket, manure. Quite some tannins. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Under medium body, below average carbonation. Nice one.

330ml bottle from Ciderwinkel. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, no head and aroma of mucky apple. Taste is sweetish, fruity apple, mucky funk hints, with some citric notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, medium dry finish. Quite OK

International Cider Festival 2019. Bottle pour. Hazy pale straw with no head. Mild sour apples, dry pear, champaign, faint hint of red wine character, mostly in the nose. Light sweet and moderate bitter, light sour. Medium body and low carbonation. Nice and dry, nice balance. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hard Cider Red Wine Barrel Aged on 04 Jun 2019 at 16:34 - Score: 7.

International Cider Festival 2019. Bottle pour. Clear and pale straw with no head. Sour apples, woody, dry white wine, champaign. No noticeable bourbon notes really, maybe some oak. Light sweet and moderate bitter, mild sour. Medium body and soft fizzy carbonation. A bit to dry and wry. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hard Cider Bourbon Barrel Aged on 04 Jun 2019 at 16:33 - Score: 7. Original review text: Weinig bourbon in de smaak

Bottle (batch 7) at home. Pale golden colour with no head. Smells apple, slightly wine like, hint of cinnamon. Tastes sourish, kinda dry, slightly salty aftertaste. Not enough apple for me. Thin to medium body, medium carbo.
