750ml bottle. Clear golden colour, fizzy white bubbly foam head that rapidly dissipates away and aroma of tangy apple, barnyard, woody oak, honey. Taste is sweetish apple, tart, with notes of honey, apple pie, oak, rubber, barnyard, earthy boozy and light tannin. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry tart bittersweet finish. Nicely drinkable sparking cider.

Bottle from Biddenden. It pours lightly hazy pale gold with a quickly dissipating white head. The nose is earthy, hay, straw, barnyard, light must and soft fruits. The taste is crisp, lightly tart, white grape, apple, earthy, hay, barnyard, pear, sherbet and light alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and effervescent carbonation. Pretty impressive stuff really. Complex, yet balanced. Almost like a champagne in many ways. Crisp tartness comes through as well. Delicious.
