Bottle from Scrattings this one at 5.9%. Clear gold, some spotted foam on top. Nose of apple core, then fruity apple juice, wood, light leather and musk. Taste is more mellow than expected with a nice fruity musky dry apple dominating. On the one hand the character/differing flavour notes are less than expected, but on the other, there is a great sessionability to it without lowering itself to supermarket blandness. Near medium bodied, nice sparkle to it, not overdone. I like it.

500ml bottle from Orchard box. Pale golden colour with a short-lived fizzy white foam head. Aroma of mucky apple, some sulphur. Taste is tart apple, apple skin, with some horseblanket and drying tannin. Light to medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry funky finish. Quite drinkable.

500ml bottle from Fire & Ice, Narberth. Pours clear gold. Aroma of apple juice and skins. Taste is quite light for the ABV but juicy enough with a light carbonation. Nicely balanced with a modest, innoffensively flavoursome character. Perfect summer drinking.
