Flavour Analysis

Cider begins with a vivid impression of powerful crisp tartness, before sugar, alcohol and yeast emerge underneath. A cut grass note adds fresh aroma. A gooseberry note contributes tart green fruit, and honey and rancio notes give the profile a finish that moves from the familiar to the unexpected.
