500ml bottle from Appalachian. Tasty Bev pint glass @home. Gold, bit of haze, bubbly. Smells of fermenting mulch, old frying oil & barn-y French cider. Taste is old, oxidized, bittersweet apples & satisfying hard English water that binds it all. Super tannic, mineral-y, taught, moderately acidic, pear-like stone-y apples. Mild sulfites, mild headache. Varnished, old vat finish. Thin, low perceived abv, more acidic than I realized. Carbonation is just right. The apples really seem slightly rotty, but the process seems to make an above average beverage. Average apples, Good slurping.

Bottle @Ulfborg Scooper. Clear pale yellow with some floating sediment. Fizzy with small bubbles. Funky aroma, cat. Dry, sweet and tart. Funky apple flavour. A little thin in the long run perhaps. Carb is pretty high
Bottle, should be 2016 vintage, 7% ABV (from Siidrimaja). Pours hazy golden with whitesh head. The head stays for some moments. Aroma is sour, apples, some vanilla. Flavor is sour and sweet, apples, some acidity and weird candy like notes. Feels fullish and covers alcohol well. Overall: ok-ish, not really as dry as expected by name/decription, more in med-sweet category for me. Would like it to me more dry as the name says.
500ml bottle. Clear yellow golden colour, short lived foamy white head and aroma of fruity apple, musty, vanilla, leather, barnyard. Taste is dry sourish apple, bittersweet, apple skins, woody oak, earthy tannin and light barnyard notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying tangy tannic finish. Very drinkable.
