Cidru din Mere

This Moldovan cider that I tried in Chişinău is produced by what appears to be a fruit juice manufacturer called Subconcentrat SRL. The ingredients are apple cider, apple juice concentrate, apple juice, carbon dioxide and ascorbic acid. It is labeled as dry (sec) and is very dry, and also has considerable foam on pouring, no doubt due to the CO2. Colour is pale yellow with an old apple bouquet. Taste is initially very dry with a very mild apple flavour and an astringent finish. 5.5% ABV. My rating 6/10.
