500ml bottle from Scrattings. 5.7%. Slightly hazy orange gold colour, afew short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of baked apples, caramel. Taste is sweetish, then tart funky, orchardy apple, with vingery hints, plus woody and caramel notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, semi-dry funky finish. Quite OK.

Many thanks to Thirstybird for this bottle! Fresh fruity appley nose. The cider starts sweetish-round. Dry with tart cider apples. Deep with a nice and moderate sweetness. Round and easy to drink, fresh and sessionable, nice and slightly sweetish apples in the aftertaste. All in all a nice and sessionable cider, that is slightly sweetish but still dense and fruity.

Cask at the Blue Raddle, Dorchester. It pours hazy pale gold with a decent white head. The nose is toffee apple, apple pie & custard, tangy fruits and earth. The taste is bitter - sweet, earthy, musty, light funk, tangy apple, apple skin and light mouth - pucker with a firm, dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Flavoursome and well - balanced. Tasty.

Bag in a box at the Stable, Bristol, 11/4/2015. Deep gold with slight carbonation. Dryish cider, with plenty of tannins, a hint of the barnyard and gentle finish. Good.
