I thoght this wa sa decent cider. Manilla envelopes. White head. Dies off quick. Yellow colored paper. Nose is tart and dry with a tad bit of sweetness. Caramel and lemons. Very green tasting cider with a hint of toffee like sweetness. Sour and highly carbonated. Eh..

Might as well, right? Pale yellow with a brief white head. Tart apple aroma. Very sweet flavor. Tastes a lot like commercial apple juice with carbonation. Not much of a finish to speak of.

Bottle, bought @ CITTI, Flensburg.
Pours pale golden with a slight greenish hue. No head, okay bubbly. Aroma has metal notes and some apple juice character. Medium to high carbonation. Flavour is weak, soft and with only some weak apple notes. Quite sweet and rather dull.

Pours with a small, fizzy, quickly diminishing, white head covering a clear staw yellow body with some extremely small things floating around. Aroma of dry apples, a chardonay note, and some oak. Taste is ever so slightly funky, and is off-balanced. Dry mouth with champagne fizzyness.

Bottle from Gall & Gall. Golden apple colour. Slight head. Strong nose of cut apples and alcohol. Flavour is grapes, apples and slight tart taste. Texture is smooth, alcohol pretty well hidden. Used to drink these on the rocks in Namibia. Fair enough.
