Crispin Browns Lane English Cider, 5.8 ABV, 19g sugar

Crispin is an American company, but they import this particular variety from England and it is spot-on. It was a bit of an acquired taste, but now I am completely on board and I can say this is the best cider I've had to date. It has a fresh apple aroma, with a very natural organic flavor. It has such a wonderfully fermented taste, with notes of soil and moss (and maybe even mold!), one may wonder if the apples were mined from Middle Earth rather than grown on trees. It was a bit jarring at first, but the handmade farmhouse quality grew on me very quickly and left me thirsty for another. A fine example of British craft. 8.75 out of 10.
