500ml bottle from Ludlow Food Centre. Pours a deep gold with a light mist. Aroma is light wild, funk, apple breeze. Gentle, almost natural sparkle. Taste presents a bracing acidity, dusty tannins, wild funk, good apple fruit, drying close. Gentle underlying medium apple fruit. Less harsh than previous Mahorralls.

500ml bottle from Moonshine & Fuggles, Ironbridge. Clear orange gold colour, white foam head that quickly dissipates away and aroma of juicy apple, funk, rubber. Taste is tart apple, apple skins, caramel, barnyard, rubber, woody oak and drying tannins. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low to medium carbonation, very dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.

Pours amber with gentle bubbles and no head, though a little froth. The nose is very dry and sour, so apples obviously, but also going into cider vinegar. The taste is again very dry, so a crisp apple note at the front then a really tangy apple and yeast finish. The palate is lean in structure and texture and then long and dry on the finish. Overall, a really interesting absolutely bone dry cider.
