500ml bottle. Cloudy gold with a sweet and tart apple juice aroma and a touch of orchard funk. Taste is light, sweet, caramel, tangy apples, a very fleeting tang in finish and then not a lot. Maybe a touch too light? Its ok.

330ml bottle - Pours a hazy golden colour with a fizzy white head that quickly disappeared. The aroma is fruity, apple pulp and skins with some light straw notes. A moderately sweet fruity taste, apple, straw and light woody flavours with a little tartness in a semi-dry finish.

Can from Bottle shop in Meads. An absolutely stunning cider. Apple crush mature aroma. Gold. So much apple coming through with just the right dryness and bitterness to it. Delightful gentle fizz. it's not barrel aged or anything fancy but it's supremely gluggable. Unfair to compare to beer but here we go. Full marks. (28/12/21).

Bottle sample from Grumbo, cheers Graham! Golden colour, short-lived thin white foam head and aroma of funky apple. Taste is fruity apple, orchardy, leathery barnyard funk, woody oak and some light tartness. Alittle thin, light to medium bodied, low carbonation, dry funky slightly tart finish. Quite drinkable farmhouse cider.
