Bottle from Ladrum Bay Holiday Park, Budleigh Salterton. Clear gold with a brief fizz. Apple pith and light leather/funk aroma. Taste is more fruity and sessionable than the aroma suggests. Mid-sweet, apple skins and pith. Medium bodied, semi-drying. Good.

Clear pale golden coloured body. Zesty apple aroma. Cask so no carbonation but cloying apple tastes & quite zesty on the finish. Quite good.

500ml bottle from Morrison's (Tiverton). Drank while house and dog sitting in Devon on 21st August 2023. Tasted and smelled of apples, BBD was smudged, so no idea how fresh the apples were.

Box @ The Abbey, Shrewsbury. Clear gold with a light mist. Sweet, juicy apple aroma. Clean, oily palate, simplistic medium sweet character, mild acidity. Not very characterful but a fine pintworthy box cider all the same.

Tap at the Aleway, Axminster, 15/04/22. Lightly hazed golden with a decent white cap as Ciders go. Nose is apple pulp, straw, tannins, vague funky aroma. Taste comprises apple skins, wood, straw, grains, bitter sweet tones. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Decent refreshing drop.
