Taste Notes

Cysers are so simple and great when you are running low on honey. This batch aged beautifully. The tastes I had at 2,3,4,6 months were all better and better. Semi sweet, earthy/apple in there, and like an apple pie with the cinnamon! Unlike some, they are almost immediately ready for drinking, though aging is best.
