Refrigerated 375 mL green bottle (says 2012) corked poured into a white wine glass. Pours clear pale golden with no head, little carbonation, and no lacing. Taste is tart, some funk, and some soft dusty apple.

Bottle from River City Cellars on 05/07/2011. Hazy golden body with a small white head. Sweet apple, tart and vanilla aroma. Tart fruit, vanilla, and apple flavor with some oak hints. Medium light body with moderately low carbonation.

Bottle shared by Levi. Very unique lemony edges. Sour apple, lemony tartness. Very tart, not a traditional cider. Sour cider mix. Very cool.

Bottle sample. Hazy yellow color, pretty much flat. Aroma of mild barnyard, dusty fruit and apple skins. Taste is full bodied fruit with a slight edge of tartness. Not as funky as the Ribela we had just before this, but pretty tasty.

750 ml bottle from Bushwackers. A really cool presentation. One of my first (or first?) ventures into Basque cider. Pours a cloudy yellow color, almost green, almost no carbonation. Some particulates floating around. A sour apple funky barnyard nose. Really interesting flavor: tart apples, sawdust, some cheese, funkiness. Certainly quite dry, cider bone dry flavors. Is unique. I wonder what this is fermented with? The softness/no carb for the most part is actually OK with me.

Bottle from Eroski, Santander. Unclear yellow greenish colour. Nose is sour apple, tannin, leather, wood. Flavour is sour apple, a bit acidic, leather. Fairly dry. Good stuff.

750 mL bottle as a birthday present from Mom. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy yellow color with floating particles. The head fades immediately but I didn’t pour it traditionally so I’m not going to knock it for that. Aroma of big fruity, floral apple notes, tart apples, herbal and spicy notes. The taste is tart apples, vanilla, grainy notes, herbal notes, spicy finish. Quite nice.

Thanks radarsock for sharing this. Enjoyed in a snifter.
