Comments: Incredibly strong cider in alcohol, woody and heady, but a very interesting experiment.

A Mes rate: Milk bottle shaped plastic bottle from Middle Farm thanks to David. Utterly ridiculous stuff. I entered the abv as 13 but it seems that’s the lowest it will be and is more than likely stronger... Pale yellow colour. Paint stripper and acetone with some slight apple in the aroma. Flavour similar but the finish is great. Very very dry but then that is washed away with long long alcohol and apple notes. Certainly not the most interesting cider I have had but its just so over the top silly I couldn’t help but like it.
