It’s strong. It’s full bodied. It’s the drink that every Dabinett apple wants to become – especially since it bagged Great Taste Awards in 2016, 2018 and 2022! (And where many ciders are lucky to mature for 6 months, this is aged for a year.)

500ml bottle from Orchard Explorer. Sparkling, golden amber colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of fruity, fleshy apple, some funk. Taste is tangy, apple, fruity, solventy funk, with some spicy tannin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, medium-dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.

Sample from danlo, big thanks! Clear golden with no head. Soft sweet apples, red and yellow character I’d say. Some soft woody and vanilla tones, cooked apple sauce, some hint of an old onion in there, makes me think of specific hop characters.

500ml bottle from Ludlow Food festival. Very sweet for a dabinett, clean tasting, slightly syrupy but a cool refreshing blend. Nowhere near as bad as the yanks below make out.

Bottle from Corks, Bristol. Golden with slight carbonation. Light, apple juice aroma, with a touch of skin and core. Easy drinking, with more fruit, a slightly herbal edge and medium finish. Ok.
