Product: Henry of Harcourt, Duck & Bull premium draught cider
Details: 500 mL, 9%
Some guy called Henry, maybe, resides in Harcourt (near Castlemaine, Victoria). He makes cider and perry and some other apple and pear-themed products.
At Swords' QV Market outlet today, I was pushed in the direction of Henry's Duck & Bull cider. Reasonably priced--six bucks, if I recall correctly, for half a litre of good quality, small batch grog--given that it's very good. Dry. A bit yeasty. And, most important of all, it actually tastes of apples. This point may sound daft to the uninitiated--cider tasting like apples? fuck me--but a lot of ciders just ... don't. It looks like real apple juice, too: pale and cloudy. Nothing at all like the mass produced ciders pooped out by Strongbow, Bulmer's and Mercury. Very easy drinking. I struggle to drink beer quickly--it's too heavy--and I prefer to sip at whisky and cognac and wine. This is dangerously good shit.
