OStreetBrewery (96), Wellington, New Zealand May 17, 2008 Pours a light gold with a thin white head. Aroma features apple fruit, a minerally note, and a vinous character. On the palate there is medium sweet apple fruit, a mineral note and a clean quick finish. Decent NZ style cider. RichardGretton (2683), Leicestershire, England Apr 6, 2008 Bottle@Te Anau, New Zealand. Pale cider with a dry and weakly fruity aroma. The flavour is fruity and very dry. Overall an average very dry cider that lack fruitiness. Papsoe (10551), Frederiksberg, Denmark Feb 9, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pale golden with a bubbly, white head that dissipates rather quickly. Dry apple aroma. Fairly light in body with way too much carbonation. Discreet and dry but not very acidic apple notes. Dry, bubbly finish. Disappointing. 300108 NoiZe (949), Zeist, Netherlands Jan 23, 2008 I’ve had this one in New Zealand on my honeymoon. Visited the brewery too.
Decent cider. Not much of a cider fan though. TheGrandMaster (1495), Auckland, New Zealand Dec 30, 2007 Updated: Jul 28, 2008Draught at Bar Edwards in Newtown (Wellington). No notes, but from memory one of the better ciders I have ever tasted. Maybe not as flavoursome as some craft ciders. or thankfully as sweet as the more commercial. But a very easy and refreshing drink and one that went down very well with this beer lover.
