Bottle Pours with a quick to fade white head over a burnt golden body. Aroma of dry apples and cork. Not very complex. Taste has medium residual sugars, dry (non fruity) flavor with apple character, light barnyard. Very drinkable. Aspall seams to be very good in my book for a mass market cider (beats the pants off of Woodchuck and Strongbow in actually being a real cider). Lively, forced carbonation. Dry mouthfeel.

Bottle, Morissons. Light golden colour, sparkling. Carbonated. Aroma of sour apple, phenol. Flavour of sweet apple, applejuice, phenol, earthy, yeasty. Dry finish. Not bad.

2008 bottle drunk January 2009 with approx. 4-6 months age on it.
After the delightful tartness of the dry cider from Aspall, I was very curious to try this guy. Similar in appearance, with, perhaps, a bit more amber color to it and equally carbonated. More mushy, red apple-like sweetness is apparent in the nose, with some musty, though I wouldnt quite say tart, notes on the end. A definite woodiness, like wet/damp sawdust is noteable in both these ciders, leading me to believe it must be a house character and not an unenjoyable one at that.
Cleaner, more straightforward in the mouth, with simple juicy sweetness and a less staying tartness/acidity on the finish. Some light alcohol creeps in to the finish and as the carbonation softens, it gets rather "mushy" and probably a little too lifelessly sweet. Good enough though, and the wild yeast/musty house character is a nice touch.

Clear golden. Dry aroma with fresh apples and wood. Dry flavor with ripe apples, wood and a dry tart finish.

Bottle. A mixture of sour green and candy apple aroma. Pale yellow color. Sour slight barnyard green apple flavor. Nice body. A very nice sweet-sour cider.

500ml bottle from Morrisons. Clear pale gold, no head, lots of apple juice on aroma, its how I remember cider tasting when I was still a teen. Very drinkable. Reasonably dry with some sweetish apple juice coming in on finish. Refreshing and drinkable.

bottle at the fort wayne tasting - Pours up dark golden with a very thin head. It has a mild aroma of tart apples. The flavor is straightforward apple tartness with a somewhat thin body and a dry finish. It’s not bad.

No head, but quite some carbonation in a fully golden bright drink. Old, grainstored and shrivelled apples of the finest farmyard quality. Sweet nose with just that pinch of sourness that makes it great. Sweet taste, and here it is just a tad too much. Liqueurish, and luxurious all the same. Alcoholic MF, near dry-out effect. Very good aged cider, but I’ll take the cask varieties anytime.
