Intro: A 750ml corked and capped bottle, 2021 vintage, with a best before date of 16th January 2027. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A nice red colour with a slight orange tinge, and a one finger very light pink head that had pretty good retention, while leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Lightly sweet and tart, cherry, apple peel, and fresh cut red apples.
Taste: Begins lightly sweet, red apple, apple peel, then a touch sour and tart, cherry.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: The cider dominates the lambic but doesn’t overwhelm it. It feels like about 70% cider to 30% lambic, and it was a good proportion as the aroma and flavours were good, and it drank really easy.
