Bottle courtesy of BMan1113VR. Clear light yellow pour with lots of tiny bubbles. Large tart aroma. Vinegar slap also on the nose. Fruit tart seals the deal. Taste is slight butter, dried fruit, citrus tart. Finish is buttery but not too much. Light apple taste.

Bottle from BMan1113vr. I like this a lot, I don’t run around going for all the ciders I can find but I liked this a lot. Pours golden with a crisp bubbly. Nose is light and sweet. Taste is big, lots of apple tasting the whole apple, the skin and everything.

Bottle via a trade with porterhouse, thanks Kevin! Pours with a clear golden and still body with light legs. Aroma is horseblanket and tannic apple. Taste is super funky with dry manure and some light sourness. An aggressive take on a English, near Normandie style cider. Very light tinge of effervescence. Nice.
