Commercial Description:
Ballydooly Red is a full-strength cider and possibly the best cider to help you kiss the Blarney Stone or even the mother in law.

(On tap) Clear, golden with almost no head. Somewhat astringent apple aroma. Medium-bodied with a high carbonation. Lightly tart apple notes with a lightly astringent, leathery touch. Ends lightly acidic. The most authentic in the Ballydooly range. 200208

This bottle was actually labelled as 6.0% ABV. Served in a 400 ml. tumbler. Sherry!! This smells like a nice sherry and the initial taste was much the same...that nice warm sherry feel was very much in evidence. Leaves a slightly sticky feel on the tongue. A nice clear appearance which resembles a very light orange-brown water. A definite repeat purchase.

on tap in dunedin at a pub which also had a lot of emersons but i forgot the name of. this has made me interested in ciders. mineral water appearance - obviously no peel in there. starts sweet and sickly but then has some moderate rotten apple tartness. very soft texture. champagne-like with a syruppy apple aroma. we used tennis balls when i was a little tacker

ok, i know nothing about ciders but this one did surprise me. it had a tasty taint of gueuzelike funk going on, like the juice that used to spray up onto my face when i used to hit the rotten apples off my grandparents' tree with a tennis racket onto the neighbour's rooves when i was a little tacker in adelaide. it looks exactly like sprite. mouthfeel is smooth and soft, and then champagne-yeasty at the finish.
