Bottle. Clear gold, brief fizzy head. Aroma has more of a fruity eating apple note compared to the dry cider version. However still has than apple skins and barnyard. Taste again quite fruity, light but with a funky barnyard element, sugars, semi-dry finish. Enjoyable light cider.

Shared by Shig at his little cider get together. Clear, medium gold, half frothy. Watery, bittersweet, rounded, mellow apple nose. Easy, caramel-y, mellow acid, faint pith & veg, medium sweet apple, mellow wood astringency. Essence, tart florals, mild cherry pit. Low carb, quiet, consistent, refreshing. Good stuff.

Box @ Turls Green, Bradford. Pale golden and thin tasting. Its apple is just apparent in its taste, but is better in its nose.
