Cider Description

Color - Light gold.  Clear.  Attractive.

Nose - Faint apple skin.

Flavor - Medium body and acidity.  The residual sweetness is more noticeable than it was for most of the ciders we tested (we won't speculate as to the reason since there are a number of possible explanations).  Not much noticeable tannin except for a hint of astringency on the finish.  

Overall Impression - Very drinkable.  Very good.  Well balanced on its own and great for a base.
