Bottle. Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is notes of apple, lime, pear, gooseberry. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. A refreshing, spritzy, bright and well-balanced cider. Nothing extraordinary, but quite solid.

750 corked bottle poured a straw yellow color with little carbonation visible. aroma has dry green apple, medium sweetness, and some skins. flavor has fresh apples, light acid, some green apple tartness, and again mid level sweetness. has a nice fresh flavor but it is overall average.

A mediocre cider. Faint sweetness and lightly tart. Light, dusty tannins. Meh.

750 ml bottle. Straw coloured, yellowish appearance. Very light carbonation. The aroma is quite dusty and earthy. A bit of aple sweetness and a light honeyish character as well. A bit of tart acidity but little in the way of tannins. Dryish/crisp finish. It’s a good, if very simple cider.

Has a very light yellow color with little/no carbonation and a sweet apple smell. Taste is very dry/sour and finishes just the same. Overall not a very good cider at all.
