BIAB at Bristol Cider Shop, as Medium Dry. Hazy yellow gold colour, no head and aroma of mucky apple. Taste is fruity apple, horseblanket funk, some vingear and hay hints, with light tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, semi-dry funky & tannic finish. Quite drinkable.

Box @ Cellar Bar, Chester. Pours hazy gold, aroma of sour funk. Taste is generally sour with some apple fruit that emerges more as you accustom yourself to it. Not bad.

From a polypin labelled ’Prime Farmhouse’ at the Bristol Cider House, 11/09/10. Amber coloured with a trace of carbonation. Decent aroma of medium apple fruit, straw,oak and the barnyard. Easy drinking, with plenty of juicy fruit, yeasty character and a dryish finish. Very good.

Cask-conditioned at the Orchard, Bristol 08/05/09. as "Aardcore". Gold with no head. Sweet apple juice up front with some dry pips, core and yeast to finish. Ok. Has the best pump clip ever - made up by the Oscar winning Aardman animations across the road from the pub - a salivating, big mouthed apple.

Cask @ 3 Judges. Hazy light golden colour, no head. Aroma is medium sweet apple. Flavour is sweet apple, bit of yeast, low carbonation. Dry finish.

[From a barrel at GBBF 2005] A hazy yellow cider with no head. The aroma is plainly sweet with notes of apples. The flavor though is very alcohol (inspite of the only 6% ABV) and quite acidic - it is so acidic, that it really draws some mouthwater. The flavor also contain subdued notes of apples.
