1/12/2025. Draught at Williams Ale & Cider House, Spitalfields, London. Nice colour. Light aroma. Very tangy tart taste initially, with sugary sweetness developing. Slightly medicinal/cherry cough drop. A bit stewy. Quite liked it.

Bladder bag at the Thirty Nine Steps, Broadstairs, 24/11/23. Cherry red with a light crimson cap. Nose is bitter sweet cherries, light orchard fruits, apple core, straw. Taste comprises apple skin, cherry stones, grains, straw, light vinous notes. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Not bad for a flavoured affair ... wouldn't exactly call the cherry sour but at lease not sweet like it often is in a cider.

On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a murky dark red with no head. Aroma has crisp red skinned apples. In the mouth it is mainly sweet (not overly so) but there is sharpness there if you search for it. Flavour has juicy red cherries to the fore, but also apples in the background. I don’t normally go for fruit ciders, but this is decent.

Cask at Pint Shop. Cloudy reddish color, bright white bubbles. Fruity cherry more than apple aroma. Apple and cherry swap positions in the taste, light tartness but a lightly sweet edge. Like apple pie and cherry cobbler having sex
