A revival of a historical light and dry cider made for quaffing whilst you work the fields! At only 3.8% ABV you can keep your head and thirst at bay. This is made from many varieties of apple including Discovery. The pulp is soaked before a second pressing to extract the remaining juice. Often a cloudy cider, it has good flavours despite being lower strength (in the “real cider” bracket).

275ml bottle from Ales by Mail. Hazy yellow gold colour, no head and juicy apple aroma with barnyard hints. Taste is apple, fruity, juicy, sweetish with some light woody and funky notes. Light bodied, low carbonation, mellow finish. Quite OK.

Bag in a box @ Stable Birmingham. Pours murky unclear pissy yellow. Mushy apple fruit aroma. Taste is smooth, weak apple with lightly coarse tongue-sucking action and a slight tangy prick on the finish. A bit mucky, lacks clarity.

50 cl bottle @ PBF Ⅸ, BBE 01.05.2017
Aroma is sour with lactic notes and hints of apples. Flavour is sour with lactic tones, some earthy notes and green apples. Rather unusual cider; instead of apples this has lactic sourness.

At the Southampton Arms, London 25/03/10. Pale hazy gold in colour. Aroma of apple cores and bruised fruit. Light apple flavours, with a touch of spice and medium dry finish. Ok, but a bit subdued all round.
