Jabłkowe, lekko dzikie nuty. Skóra, taniny, skórka i pesta jabłkowa obecne. Trochę jabłkowo-gruszkowej słodyczy. Dosyć płaskie. Pozytywne zaskoczenie, bliżej tu w stronę porządnego cydru niż jabłkowej oranżady za co duży plus.

Fairly light simple Sidra. A bit of sweetness and some light zestiness. Apple and apple skin. Leans to the sweet side of the sweet/tart balance that these sidras tend to walk.

Polían Sidra Natural
bottle. pours a hazy yellow with absolutely no head. very mild aroma, super faint apple, also faint sourish note. Aroma is very faint. flavor is fairly strange for a cider, the taste is more or less water and green apples. Almost herbal. bottle says 6.5% alc. but that alc. is super well hidden i must say. flavor also resembles water with fresh pressed lemon juice i it. it is very refreshing, and the green apples and lemon works well. The cider is extremely dry, and the lemon and green apple is almost only hints, as if they were diluted by water. but still, the alc. cannot be tasted. a very special cider, and a super drinkable one. I am not sure i am a big fan, because i like a more in your head flavor, this thing is super delicate and subdued.

De color amarillo pálido, ligeramente turbio, sin espuma. Sin carbonatación. Textura acuosa. Aroma a manzana verde, reminiscencias cítricas. Suave y placentero, nada ácido. En boca buen balance entre acidez y dulzor, obviamente tirando más a lo primero pero mucho menos ácida que otras sidras asturianas. Mucha manzana verde, ligero cítricos, sulfuro y final ligeramente seco donde se nota la madera. Puede variar mucho según lotes, pero, si sale bien, tiene nivel.

Bottle thanks to sjogro. Murky pale straw with no head. Cow dung, funk, hay, some sweat, plastic, some apple peel, light salty crackers. Light salty and sour with very light sweetness. Light bodied with dry feel. It has some good notes, but a bit too much dung and plastic, and it’s a bit too watery as well. Still an interesting cider though.

Bottle from Mercadona Supermercado. Hazy yellow with no head retention. Nice bubbles. Consumed from a plastic cup at Playa Abades, Tenerife. Quite watery but also rich in aroma of yellow and red apples, nice blue cheese funk, almond, oak and tannins. Light sweet and tart and moderate bitter. Thin with soft carbonation, over medium dry. Total steal for €1.50 per 70cl. //// 2nd bottle. Less funk but more balance. I’m crazy about this. Got more bottles to try! //// 3rd bottle down. Balance between sweet, sour, salty and bitter is perfect. It’s apple gose with a bit of that tortilla aroma that happens in the salt and tart clash. Almost no carbonation this time. Still loving it and uprating because its officially the only stuff I drank 3 big bottles off by myself ever. (Originally rated 3.6 - increased palate and overall to appropriate proportion)

After all the talk of Spanish cider being so crazy good and weird and wonderful. I was bemused to find it almost identical to a rustic English cider. More fool me for not taking into account that most of my US neighbours don’t have that point of reference. The good thing is, I love this kind of stuff. Got that wild dry nose, tart green flavor with some wood and probably a wasp or two crushed in with the apples. Still as they come, sleek and refreshing.

Ich muss sagen, mal wieder etwas anderes, wirklich. Sehr sauer, sehr knackig in seiner Art. Viel Zitrone und einer ordentliche Portion Essig neben Gras und Heu. Fuer Fans, also mich, eine recht nette Sache.
