Taking inspiration from the entrepreneurial spirit that drives London life, this version of Soul Trader is made from just a single variety of 2018 Braeburn apples and fermented on-site by Roberto.
Pale and bubbly in appearance, the lightly sparkling cider bursts with orange and floral notes that give way to a yeast-like background. Similar in feel to a light champagne, the balanced taste delivers a twist of apple tart, and a pleasing acidity that makes it the ideal precursor to a delicious meal.

Bottle shared at L6. It pours clear very pale white wine yellow with minimal head. The aroma is sweet, creamy, floral, tart apple, apple skin, pear, vanilla, touch of spice and apple & custard boiled sweets. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, spritzy, apple skin, pear skin, cheap white wine, gooseberry and some tannin with a firmly dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Pleasant white wine character. Not much depth though.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Scoopy. Pours entirely pale and very lightly effervescent. Light sweet flavour with some ripe apples, moderate tartness, a little vanilla. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Fairly clean finish, some musty dryness, more tangy apples, a nip of lemon. Fun stuff.
