Bottled by lowcostbeer. Clear gold, still. Aroma of wood, stewed apples, light vinegar. Taste of tangy apples, leather, vanilla, semi-sweet middle with drying close. Slick near medium bodied. Its ok, more balanced than the dry version.

BIAB at Hull Real Ale & Cider Fest 2019. Golden colour, no head and aroma of apple & slight mucky funk. Taste is sweetish, tangy apple, barnyard funky with some earthy dry tannins. Medium bodied, low carbonation, semi-dry finish. Quite drinkable

Sampled from bottle shared with some random strangers (and they payed, nice haha, thanks!) @ Drinkers Pub, Eindhoven. Hazy a bit pale yellow golden color, virtually no head. Smell and taste remind me of the peel of overripe, shrinked apples. And too sweet. At the same time some pear and floral influences come through. Medium dry finish indeed. Meh, not one of my favourites.

July 19: 500ml bottle from the producer. Pours clear gold. Aroma has a pleasant medium apple fruit sweetness. Taste is good, well balanced medium dry cider.. unrecognisable to the box cider I had 5 years ago. Nice tannic grip. Very good. July 14: Bag in box @ JDW Shrewsbury Hotel Cider Fest July 14. Pours hazy yellow. Quite a harsh taste, its fruitiness seems masked by an acidic, sour almost chemical taste. Bizarre. Nowhere near as soft, fruity & drinkable as previous Hecks ciders I’ve had. Disappointing.

Cask @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 09.10.2010
Aroma is slightly sour with apples, some earthy and leathery notes and hints of fruit sugar. Flavour is slightly sour with green apples, leathery notes and some fruit sugar. Finishes acidic. My first real cider, nice but could be even more sour.

On tap at Bree Louise with Sarah. Pours a clear yellow gold with no head whatsoever. Aroma has a note of earthy apple with a hint of sweetness and underlying roast. Flavor starts with tart apple and finishes with an earthy roast note. A bit thin.
