Bottle (RBESG2011, Grand Tasting)
Dis have sinky crap, but that stayed in the bottle. Vinegary aroma. Very dry and acidic. Close to a UK cider. The apple in this is clear, but perhaps it’s a too dry for me.

Bottle ordered in a restaurant in Costa Teguise: Reading the notes above, I think I was sold a duff ’un: It wasn’t "clear, transparent, bright yellow", but cloudy like scrumpy. It didn’t taste good, just sour with a hint of parmesan. but my sample may not be representative. Live and learn!

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
bottle. vibrant nose of must, bitter apple skin and even something resembling hops (grassy, green, musty). high bitterness, medium-high astringency with semi-sweet apple pulp flavor. above average, which given the presence in nearly every bar / sidreria in asuturias I figured it was more of a common / simple sidra, so the surprise was nice.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle (2005 vintage!) courtesy of fiulijn whom I thank a lot :). After doing a huge job on Asturian cideries, I finally get to try an Asturian cider :). Yellow body bordering somewhere between hazy and murky. Nicely sweet and sourish corky appley aroma. Sweeter than I thought it would be. Sure, there is a relatively strong acidity and notes of glue (that are pleasant), but the underlying corky sweetness balances this out nicely. A lovely cider in my opinion.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A Mes rate. Bottle at Sideria la Socarrena, Barcelona.
Bright very hazy yellow looks. Big and fruity, slightly acidic with some ripe and chewy apples. Quite sweet but a nice tart finish balances it out. Good stuff
