27/11 From Txotx (barrel) at Sidreria Galtzagorri, Bilbao. It poured hazy lighter yellow body with medium sized head (poured from high, of course). Now, my notes are in a smartphone that is not here currently so just rating it to keep in the order. Quite good, easy going Basque cider!

Tap at the Txapela bar at the Ramblas in Barcelona (Boqueria market). Not bad.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bright yellow, slightly hazy and no head. Fanta aroma, with some crisp green apples thrown in. Some sugar too. Bit of bubbles, which don’t really survive in your mouth. Taste is more citric than expected, an interesting twist. Drinks quite easily, maybe not as refreshing as could be. Actually burns a very tiny bit from the sourness, which makes the ending quite nice. Interesting to try this Spanish cider. Still prefer French ones, though. (From a Valencian wine shop)
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Served in a glass at a tapas restaurant in Spain. Totally unclear yellow/orange body with no head and moderate carbonation. Aroma is pretty rustic acidic apple and relatively much yeast. Flavor is semi-dry, acidic sour apple with yeast and hint of flowers. A bit unusually and definitively refreshing. Not complex, but it feels very real and I appreciate that a lot.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: AUG 12, 2011 heavy stinky foot must nose with cheesecloth and acerbic apple must. zesty but minerallic and chemical-like yeast. strong bitterness growing across mid-palate sustaining into a lengthy finish. sharp acid throughout. much better the second time around.

lot KN22, bouteille de 2009.
dorée/foin, plate avec qcq bulles.
Pomme aigre avec qcq notes de sucre et de levure, le tout garde cet aspect organique et bio de pommes fraiches ainsi que de fleur de pommier, légère note de vinaigre/aigreur riches en tanins.
Reste typique dans le style de cette région.

Tap @ La Sagardi, Barcelona.
Pours a nice yellow, but quite muddy. No head. Aroma has oak, green apples, zesty apple peel and quite a lot of sulphur. Almost no carbonation, fair dry mouthfeel, though it’s a bit thin. Flavour has some clear vinegar notes, green apples, some burning sensation in my throat. Light sweet spple and fair dryness.
