A full bitter-sharp apple which produces a cider with bite, sweetness, and astringency, with a strong, versatile flavour. Foxwhelp is one of the most recognisable cider apples.

Bottle from Scrattings @ 6%. Pressed Sep-19, bottled Feb-21, consumed Apr-22. Clear gold, some white bubbled foam on top. Leather aroma with apple core, skins and white sugars. Very sour and acidic apple juice, some leather, wood, citrus, semi-dry and acidic finish. A bit too sharp for me but its fine. Bottle blurb mentions having it with strong cheddar cheese which makes sense as a combination.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. This one 5.2% Appearance - golden yellow with steady carbonation. Nose - fresh red apples. Taste - red apple, apple skin and highly tart, almost heading to cider vinegar. Palate - light bodied, highly acidic and persistently sour. Overall - was in the mood for the high acid but won't always be.

500ml bottle from Cideronline, 5.0%. Golden in colour, white foam head that quickly dissipates away and mucky oily apple aroma. Taste is dry fruity, fleshy apple, melon, citric with a hint of mucky barnyard funk. Medium bodied, low soft carbonation, dry tart fruity acidic finish. Quite drinkable
