375ml bottle (2016 bottling). Pours a misty orange, aroma is woody with medicinal hints. Taste, again, presents some medicinal notes that merge gently into battenburg cake, with soft dabinett and yarlington mill fruit emerging. It is a little dusty and woody in parts, with some light, whispery natural funk. Not as sharp and tannin-rich as previous Gregg's Pit, but still characterful. I suspect this particular year tastes markedly different to previous years rated below.

750ml bottle, as Gregg’s Pit Herefordshire Cider, 2014 Dabinett & Yarlington Mill. Orange golden colour with a white foamy head that dissipates to a thin layer and leaves alittle lacing. Nose of tangy apple, woody oak, funky, rubber, leather. Flavour is juicy apple, sweetish with wood, oak, barnyard, leather, rubber, band-aid and some drying earthy tannins. Spritzy but soft mouthfeel, medium bodied, high carbonation, dry funky tannic finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle from The Three Counties Cider Shop, Ledbury, Herefordshire. Cotteridge, Birmingham, consumed at home Friday 20th November 2015 Wonderful aroma, a little country aroma, also some mulched up pulpy apple. A soft golden glow, nice look some white bubbles. Soft in the mouth a nice bittersweetness which offers up a juicy pudding appleyness, nice zippy feel around the gums, great tannins, it is lovely, my favourite of the night so far, at first I thought mmhhh.... that is a bit sweet but after a while it’s spot on.
