Bottle. A clear, almost colorless drink drink, still and headless. Rather mead-ish aroma, honey, apples and some orchard and grass. It's warming, sweet and sticky on the palate, with lots of honey flavor. Apples, grass and orchard too, and a very light spiced touch. Long, warming, sticky finish. There's not much cider left in this drink. 190406
