On tap at Cider House Borough Market. Clear gold colour thin white head. A little almost diacetyl bitter flavour which is odd. But the toffee actually works with the apple. Decent flesh apple flavour some dryness on the finish. Yes mostly good apple flesh flavour. Medium dryness. Very drinkable.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep, bright orange. Very little carbonation. Nose - ripe red apples. Musky note. Taste - more red apples but with just a bit of fruit acidity. Palate - medium bodied, bitter sweet and a fairly dry, tangy finish with good fruit acidity. Overall - good.

Sample courtesy of minutemat, cheers Mat! Golden colour, short-lived thin white foam head and aroma of apple, barnyard funk, vanilla. Taste is fleshy apple, woody, mucky barnyard funk, bittersweet, vanilla, with drying spicy tannin. Medium bodied, low to medium carbonation, dry tannic finish with some lingering vanilla. Nicely drinkable.

500ml bottle from Hecks Cider Farm. Pours a generally clear gold, light natural sparkle. Aroma is lightly rich apple fruit. Taste presents a nice Slack ma Girdle showcase, with firm dry, gum sucking tannins, nice floral apple orchard fruit. Decent.
