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!

Draft @ BXLBeerFest'23, jour 2. Merci Maria.
Couleur pâle, léger voile, pas de col.
Arôme est frais, pomme acerbe, l’apport de foudre donne un léger rétro-nasal boisé
Palais est assez sec avec un profite ‘sour’ marqué acerbe, l’apport de foudre rend tout cela peut-être encore une pointe plus funk. Le tout reste cependant frais, floral et fruité.

Bottle. Bit hazy light golden. Lots of quince, sour pear, light funk, vanilla, red apple, floral with hints of camomile. Medium sour, a bit less sweet. Over medium bodied. Pretty decent, but Basque style with quite fizzy carbonation. Not bad.

Bubbles gone in seconds; pale yellow, lightly veiled liquid. Sulphur, putteke , rhubarb, starfruit, and... a bit sour apples. CO² very present in the mouth, here more dried old apples, crabapples, ink, rather complex profile. Quite dry, CO² lending acidity - more than the apples; dry-out effect. This is one good cider. I cannot point to the PX influence - except then for the pretty complex character.

Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een troebel oranje bruin bier met weinig tot geen schuim. Het heeft een aroma van gist en hop. De smaak is fruitig en droog met tonen van peren.

On tap at Arendsnest, pours a cloudy bright blonde with a tiny white head. Nose is just like a Spanish sidra, with lots of musty barnyard notes, horse blanket and crisp apple skins, with subdued bourbon in the background. Flavour is much the same, with bone dry apple skins, barnyard funk, horse blanket and a touch of faint bourbon. I wouldn't really have noticed the bourbon without knowing. This is impressively on point and superior to most Spanish sidras I've had. Excellent.
