M's

Welcime to the winter crumble series bought to you by @zefferdrinks & @mybarauckland!!

Over the last 4 months, @brewjaynz & I have diligently been tasting! Here is the results:

1. Plum crumble
Made with doris plum, apples & winter spices.
Sweet undertones but the spices linger & keep it from getting too sweet. B = 8ish, M = 7 (combined score 14)

2. Pear & Ginger Crumble
Smells nice. Touch of ginger in aftertaste that tingles but that disappears/softens as it warms. Sweet. B = 6, M = 5 (11)

3. Rhubarb & Apple Crumble
Rhubarb is always a hard flavour to capture. But it's there quietly as it warms. V crumbly taste. V drinkable but did start to get too sweet for my end. Brucey (& special guest Dave) = 7. Me = 6 (13)

4. The famous Apple Crumble
We have been waiting for this one! Zeffer stopped producing it much to the dismay of many. This IS the cider that brought me into the #craftcider fold!! Will it live up to our hyped?

Assessment is, it isn't too sweet. Love the cinnamon. V drinkable! B = 7.5 & M = 8 cos havent had for soo long (WINNING score of 15.5!!!)

All that remains to say is, @zefferdrinks bring back the apple crumble please 🙏
