Bag in a box at Piston Broke, Shoreham-by-Sea. Very, very light yellow, flirting with clear. Still and flat. Faint smell of apple, but it's just about enough. Intense taste of apples and booze. Sweet but not overly so. This is an gentle giant of a cider, made more frightening by its subtlety. Slightly tangy finish. Light to medium body, no hint carbonation. Not perfect but it grew on me.

Аромат яблок, как будто домашних яблок и их выжимка для сока, в него немного добавили грушу и алкоголь. Цвет мутный, почти не жельый, пены нету. Вкус этих же яблок, 8 градусов не ощущается почти кстати. На финише легкая сухость. Норм.

33cl can from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours rather pale, slightly opaque, transparent, with no foam. Aroma had a nice little funkiness, but also a little of burned charcoal. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is moderately sour, acidic, with a hint of sweetness. Final is average.

On tap at The Evening Star, pours a clhazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp apple skins, perfumey notes, floral notes and booze. Flavour is perfumey, with apple skins, perfume and fusel alcohol. Messy and sweet. Not a well-calibrated cider. Hot and messy.

Can split at the first Canary Wharf / Westferry Circus tasting in 2.25 years ... who knew back then ... from Cider Incider, 09/06/22. Pale yellow with a moderate white cap. Nose is sweet apple, modest funk, tannins. Taste comprises bitter sweet apple pulp, tannins, apple skin, tannins, orchard wood, light funk. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Ok but lacking depth for the relatively hefty 8 % ABV.

Can shared at Welcome back to DS Tasting. Thanks to Cloin. A hazed yellow green halo of white head. Aroma is semi sweet, pear drops, custard, rhubarb, some wheat. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, tangy, twist of lemon, rhubard. Palate is dry and tangy, floury, highish carbonation. Hides the abv well.
