Hecks Browns Apple Cider

Brewed by Hecks Farmhouse Cider
Style: Cider
Street, England

Polypin at Banbury Beer Festival 08-05-08 Light golden in colour, really good clarity. This is one robust cider it really knows where its going. Really good fruity zappy apple shock, touch sweeter than expected but finishes with a real punishing tang, feels like my mouth has done a workout, most enjoyable.
