Our naturally fermented cider is a refreshing, lightly sparkling drink with a long maturation to give a smoother complexion than most commercial ciders. It is light and fruity to taste, with more complex flavours developing. Great head for a bottled cider. Clean light nose with a refreshing, crunchy palate. This is a well balanced cider with easy appley flavours.

500ml bottle and my first Scottish cider. Pale clear gold pour with a tangy apple peal aroma, some booze. Tangy apple complimented by more subtle barnyard woody notes, a hint of booze, semi-dry. Quite smooth with nice moderate level of soft fizz. Enjoyable.

Sweet cellar cooled apple, sweet and juicy, tasty. Sweet red ones and some more mealy yellowy ones, good tartness to balance it. Tasty fresh running water feel. Nice.

Bottle shared. Clear light golden with white head. Crisp apple, soft white grapes, sweet juicy, a hint of lemon, light spicy dried apple peel, a hint of caramel and alcohol. Medium sweet, very light bitter and sour. Medium bodied and about medium dry. Decent.
