found some more old bottles....

so I have been doing a bit of a spring clean and I came across 16 bottles that looked a little like

but with more dust on them. not one to be put off by the mere thought of a rusty top I popped one open to see what was in there and was very pleasantly surprised

its cider! pear cider to be exact and its tasty! really clean flavour but a little tart, I guess its been in the bottle for, well, 3 years maybe so its had plenty of time to mature lol.
sadly its a little flat but ho hum its still a little win :)

Nice find :thumb: - and reminds me, I have some bottles of cider somewhere :wha: that I tucked away as it was pretty awful at the time...

from what I remember when this stuff was bottled it stank like egg and fart and was pretty sour, didn't think it would ever become nice lol

Found another! This was in a large champagne bottle and was labelled (from what I could make out) PAAC....

Whatever the hell that means

The bottle produced a pineapple smell so I guess it was pineapple/apple cider lol

Seriously fizzy stuff, like champagne bubbles.
Truth be told if the bottle was ice cold I think this would be pretty tasty, it wasn't ice cold and was a bit 'tangy' for my tastes...

Not bad for 3 year old brew though.
