Batch #1 @ Hashigo Zake. Slightly hazy golden with a light white head. Tart apple, dry, slightly sweet. Green apple sour note on the back with a nice tart finish. Full bodied for a cider with plenty of carbonation. Very good. Would love more ciders like this.

Bottle from the 2012 harvest. Lot 0212. Pretty pricy at $12 for a 500ml. Pours with a crystal clear straw yellow hued body with some bubbles. Aromas are of pear, slightly spicy, rustic and earthy, lightly floral, honey, a touch of rubber/tennis ball on the finish. Flavors are dry, earthy, vegital, bramble like. The tennis ball notes also carry through to the flavor in a slightly distracting manner. Some lime zest character on the finish. Medium-low acidity with mild tannins. Dry with lively carbonation. L
