500ml bottle. Clear gold with aroma of apples, fruity barnyard notes. Dry and slightly fusty. Light to moderate body, a bit clingy around the palate. Not bad overall though.

Very thin white head. Clear golden pour. Quite decent. Doesn't taste very boozy. Quite easy drinking.

Endelig mandag igjen, og vi er klar for kveldens andre (og siste) cider her på Cardinal (sept-18): klar lys gylden uten skum. Søtlige epletoner og hint av kanel. Fin fruktsyre, blir ikke for søt. Svært lettdrikkelig.

500 ml bottle, as Orchard Pig Vintage Hog Father, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 7.4%. Golden colour, pours moderately sparkling with a shortlived white head. Distinct aroma of cider apples, oak and sulphites, hints of leather. Rich and medium sweet flavour of cider apples and dessert apples, hints of oak and sulphites. A very good cider.

Bottle from B&M, Manchester. Golden, mildly carbonated cider. Dry, understated with its apple, although still strong tasting. Apple is best in its aroma.
