500ml bottle from Sheppy’s Cider Farm. Pours clear gold with a lightly fruity aroma. This does seem to be almost exactly the same as Sheppy’s lesser known Oakwood cider, with the same ABV. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was the same. Still, decent medium. Identical rating to Oakwood.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe online store. Pours a sparkling golden colour with a short-lived head. Aroma of fruity apple & light woody oak. Taste is sweetish apple, apple juice, with vanilla notes. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry light tannin in the finish. Quite OK.

Bottled (AbM). Golden colour, not too much head, but still a quite richly carbonated cider. Aroma is sweet apples as well as some green apples along with some vanilla and mild wooden notes. Flavour is quite sweetish tart apples with some mild sugary sweetness as well as some mild wooden notes. Decent, but nothing extraordinary.
