other -
some unsweet honey and dried grass flavors. lengthy finish. similar to most others i’ve tried so far. bitter, acidic, astringent, etc. all shared characteristics. i’m doing my best to assess the levels of each of these things for my ratings. number scores are pretty meaningless as most sidra taste the same so the range of numbers will be narrow, with the average being my loose assessment of how much i enjoy drinking sidra overall.
