500ml bottle from Scrattings. 2017 vintage 5.2%. Orangey gold colour, short-lived foamy white head and aroma of fruity apple, some caramel. Taste is sweetish, fleshy apple, alittle tartness, some baked apple, caramel, and hints of apple skin and earthy tannin. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, medium-dry fruity finish. Nicely drinkable

500ml bottle from Rich's Cider Farm. Pours clear gold, still. Aroma is fresh, fruity with medium apple fruit, continuing to taste with a clean, fruity character, not hugely characterful in terms of the single varietal used, but quite balanced and drinkable.

2009 vintage. Golden in colour with next to no carbonation. Light, dryish aroma of fruit with some oak wood in the background. Flavour was sweet upfront, with plenty of apple character and a touch of flintiness, before a medium dry finish. Good.
