Sweet flavour of green apple, white wine, vanilla, spice and oak with a dry, tart finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and average carbonation. Very tasty and enjoyable. An excellent Cider.
shadey (2287) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - JUN 20, 2018750ml bottle. Probably 2 year old bottle at this point. Pours bright clean orange with no head. Sweet and tart aroma with some dustiness - I assume from the age. Still quite tart on the tongue, but nicely blended with apple sweetness. Alcohol is well managed. Really tasty cider.
