Very pale. Winey, soft and sweetish. Tastes like Canadian industrial cider. Quite lame - why bother?
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Box draft @ Beau Nash cider festival, Bath. Pale yellow-greenish hue. White wine look. Bland white wine aroma is barely there. Has some acidity in the finish. Is drinkable but has hardly any apple character. Tastes like a simple cheap white wine. As a wine it would be ok but as a cider it falls flat. Basically a "cider cooler" character.
