Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2012. A clear golden amber colour with no head once poured. Sweet apples, a delicate tang, spice, vanilla & honey. Really sweet but maintains its structure. Doesn’t linger overly so on the palate. Quite crisp & fresh despite the intensity of the sweetness. Drinkable, really almost too much so. Medium body, soft mouthfeel with a modest lingering finish. Fantastic with good complexity.

Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light light acidic with a long duration, very concentrated apple, dry dry finish. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. Lovely ice cider and then only a 7% ice cider. >;O) [20110409]

Bottle at Jan & Charlottes tasting, Ulfborg, Denmark 09.04.11 cheers Jan & Charlotte Pours gold with excellent clarity. Very sweet but for once the sweetness doesn’t detract as there is so much complexity here and there is some dryness. Really easy drinking , full flavoured very concentrated explosion of juicy apples, some honey and rich ripe juicy sweet apples, marvellous. This is stunning, a few stray bubbles pop too the surface, I could drink more of this quite easily. Great stuff again from Dragon Orchard. A8 A5 T9 P4 Ov17 4.3
