Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Medium aroma/ Spiced and lightly mulled tea elements. Some grain vibes. Mild crisp apple
Initial Taste: No bite, semi-gritty tea elements that combine with a smooth, light and somewhat bright apple.
After Taste: Tea tannin becomes more present and bitter elements clear out any apple flavour. Become drier in the aftertaste. Somewhat clean finish. Hints of oats in the aftertaste.
On ice: Thinner but not much difference.
