Kickstart

Made from Early Windsor apples. Pale golden, with an aroma combining salted caramel and French polish. Bone dry and sour, and with little fruit flavour, this tastes of dry timber and wood varnish, with a highly astringent aftertaste. This is a real challenge to drink. The bottle says that the fermentation is allowed to run to full dryness, and I believe it! The label suggested adding a little sweetness, to taste. It made it more palatable, but the taste profile was still a challenge.
