2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, golden cider with some white bubbles on top. The aroma is sort of sweetish, with yellow apples. Some apple cores in the flavor but mostly sweet apples. Medium body, quite dryish even though it’s on the sweet side. A quite decent one, for drinking purposes, it lacks a bit to be really good. 110319
