The fresh fruitiness of apples combines with the heavy citrus zest of elderflowers to give a unique aroma and warm caramel colour. We spike our base farmhouse cider with real elderflowers; their pungent astringency bestows a rich, complex flavour laced with fruit notes. Classic pear esters underpin subtle floral sweetness.

From Bottle at Maakun’s. Pale watery golden with no head. Sweet apples, gummybear candy, elderflower lemonade. Fresh and cool, easy drinking refreshing lemonade. Sweet with a bite. Medium body and soft carbonation.

Bottle shared. Clear golden with small white head. Massive elderflower, sweet apple, soft green apple, sugary juice, white grapes, dry pear, soft yoghurt. Medium sweet, light tart and barely any bitterness. Medium bodied with soft sparkly carbonation. OK, but has some weird 'green' and yoghurty aftertaste.

330ml bottle from Dobbies garden centre, Shrewsbury. Pours clear gold, sparkling, big elderflower nose. Taste is overly sweet, too floral, too much elderflower, underlying sweet apple, syrup. Like most Thistly Cross ciders this is just too sweet to be palatable, Soph liked it though.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Dani. Pours clear pale yellow with a frothy white head. Not a good cider. Sugary and artificial, with an odd peppery note. Medium bodied, oily, and soft. Sugary, syrupy finish. Not good.
