Comments: Strong apple flavour through and through. Less acidity than most, simplistic example.

Bottle. Golden colour with no head. Aroma is sourness, apple, yeast. Flavour is sourness, apple, yeast. OK/Nice cider.

750 ml bottle. Golden body with a disappearing white head. Aroma is acidic cider apples and wood with some cellar notes. Flavor is dry and matured apple with acidity and cellar notes. Balanced and pleasant flavor.

Bottle, 75cl, wine cork. It’s a clear, still cider. Sort of chemical on the nose, with apples and apple cores. Not too pleasant, but not foul. The flavor has apples, lemon acid and some sulphur. Medium to thin on the palate. Apples and something chemical in the finish. Not my favorite in any way, feeling sort of chemical and unclean. 120124
