A distinctively fresh bittersweet, still, cloudy cider. Appley aroma with peaty undertones, this medium dry cider is just challenging enough to be easy drinking. A real taste of the orchard for those ready to embrace proper cider.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Pale golden colour, some short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of apple, light funk. Taste is sweet, fruity, apple, fleshy, with alittle funk and bittersweet tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, medium dry finish. Quite drinkable.

Draft from post office vaults in Birmingham. Pours a cloudy gold leaves a bubbly top. Aroma of dessert apples, sweet and tart with a mild funkiness. Taste is sour and fruity apples, a little funky, dry. A bit homemade which gives it character but lacks finesse. Decent though.

Bag-in-a-box at the Fell Bar, Kendal. Hazy yellow. Tangy tart apples with an earthy hint. Generally sweet but with a hint of dry apple skins in the finish. Pretty enjoyable and quite more-ish.

Handpull at the Old Horse, Leicester. Light yellow and slightly hazy with a foamy white head. Deliciously rough aroma with crabapples, pickling spices, a bit of sulphur. The taste is rough but not delicious with a pervading sourness overpowering any gentler flavours. Needs work but certainly passable.

Box @ Stable, Birmingham. Pours a misty gold, lightly sour fruit aroma. Taste presents an initial mild sour astringent tang, with decent farmhouse apple fruit emerging. Becomes moreish after half a pint.
