Bottle. Clear gold, brief fizzy head. Aroma of apple pith and skin, barnyard, light brown sugars. Taste has those notes but is a bit watery surprisingly. Dry, tangy but a low carbonation and thinness makes it a bit cardboard like although perfectly drinkable and refreshing. Shame.

Bag in a box from the Shilton Vaults, Earl Shilton. Light gold, still and clear. Light aroma, some apple, a touch of funky Vinegar. Sweet taste for a cider advertising itself as dry, but it's got a lively little tangy bite mid-sip. Long lingering sour apple finish. This is incredibly nice and at 4% is a bit of a revelation.

Clear 500ml bottle, drank at home on 23rd Oct 2020. Looks like a cider, smells like a cider, tastes like a cider, it's all about apples you know!

500 ml clear bottle, as Taunton First Press Original Dry Cider, from The British Corner Shop. ABV is 4%. Pale golden colour, pours moderately sparkling with a small and shortlived white head. Pleasant aroma of cider apples and eating apples, hints of oak and sulphites. Dry and crisp flavour, notes of cider apples with moderate tannins, but the mouthfeel is a bit thin.

500ml bottle. Sparkling golden colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of apple & mucky barnyard. Taste is apple, some barnyard funk, straw and fruity notes. Watery mouthfeel, medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry tangy finish. Quite OK.
