PART 3 brings together Foxwhelp & Ellis Bitter in equal proportion, 50/50
This is a blend of pure harmony in which the Foxwhelp provides the bones, the muscle and the sinew and Ellis the flesh and blood. Minerally & softly woody on the nose, perfumed in the mouth and rich in juicy pomegranate - this is luscious, pure and concentrated cider that evolves intriguingly in the glass. Alc. 7.1% vol

Sample thanks to danlo. Clear deep gold appearance. Aroma presents curious vanilla and whisky hints which continue to taste. Some caramel, tart juice, gentle acidity, good tannic presence from the foxwhelp.. just enough in fact. Pretty good.

23/6/2020. Sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear dark gold with a small bubbly white head. Combines all the best of 1 and 2 in the aroma and taste. Apple pie, lightly funky and woody, caramel and vanilla, gentle tannins. Subtle sweetness which comes through really nicely with a good initial dose of tart which fades. Tart, smooth, tannic and woody finish. For me the best of the trio.

750ml bottle from Little Pomona. Pours an orangey golden amber colour with afew short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of fruit, apple, wood, oak, vanilla, caramel, funk. Taste is sweetish and sourish, apple, fruity, juicy, with wood barrel, oaky, vanilla, caramel, orange citric, with some funky notes and tannins. Slick mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry mellow finish. Well balanced, very drinkable.
