Cloudy dark straw. This could not smell any farmier - fresh cow shit for all. If you though you smelled stables in lambic, you’ve not smelled anything. Tastes like cheese -good farmhouse stuff. Light fruit, lots of tart. It’s like roasting mushrooms over dried cow patties, dripping disgusting stank gooey farmhouse cheese all over the mushrooms, and then eating it beside a cow.

Cask @ Swansea Bay Beer Festival 2010. Totally hazed and flat. I’m driving down a country road and the ripe smell of manure is seeping in through the windows. That is what this smells like. Really farmy and strangely romantic. Smooth mouthfeel. The blend of astringency and funk is remarkable. There is spice as well as funk. There is foot and very little apple character, actually. It has transcended the known parameters of cider. Could not drink a lot of it, but this was a memorable experience if only because this cider made Josh so very happy.
