Craigies Ballyhook Flyer Irish Craft Cider (5.8% ABV, 500ml). Medium hazy, bright golden colour. Sweet and sour apples, some vinegar, cinnamon, mild yeast, and even milder herbs in the aroma. The company calls this a "dry" cider, but it's somewhere between dry and medium dry. Slightly musty apples at first, earthy and fruity, some bitterness like apple skins, then a more sour note kicks in. Apple skins and some lemon in the finish. Earthy notes and increasing dryness and a bit of yeast in the aftertaste.
Quite appealing, more complex than some. 7/10.
