Though a country that grows lots of apples, they are new to cider making—and, unfortunately, it shows. I tried many and none were up to current standards. The first three by NaturAle Brewery of Tbilisi whose retail store and bar I visited.
Naturale Chokeberry No.4
Light musty bouquet. Neutral apple taste with a hint of berry and slightly tannic and slight musty aftertaste. 4.9% ABV. 5.5/10
Naturale Dry No.1
Cloudy with the colour of scrumpy. Light musty, yeasty and very light apple bouquet. No real apple flavour; dry light with almost no aftertaste. 4.7% ABV. 5/10
Naturale Semi Sweet No.6
Very light cloudy pale yellow. Light fresh apple bouquet. Initial fresh apple and lightly sweet but with a light musty aftertaste. Mustiness fades and light apple lingers. 4,8% ABV. 6.5/10
Summer Hugs Grapefruit
By Backyard Brewery of Tbilisi. Contains apple and Grapefruit juice. Light pale yellow and lightly Cloudy. Odd cheesy bouquet. Very dry taste with a hint of bitterness like Grapefruit pith but with a light musty aftertaste. 6.5% ABV. 5/10
