500ml bottle from Ciderniks online. Golden orange colour, no head and aroma of musty apple, vinegar, leathery funk. Taste is tart, fruity, mellow apple, barnyard funk, leather, rubber, woody, with lots of tannins and a biscuity oxidised note. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry tangy tannic finish. Quite OK.
