Bright golden colour with aromas of ripe apples. Soft mouthfeel and low acidity with a refreshing fruity finish. Very easy to drink, a real thirst quencher and great session material – to be drunk on a night out. Gently sparkling.

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour, bubbly white head and aroma of apple with cheesey & woody notes. Taste is sweet apple, sugary, apple juice. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry with some residual sweetness at the finish. Quite OK.

Sehr fruchtig im Geruch. Der Antrunk ist fruchtig-apfelig. Sehr mild weich, recht süß im Hauptteil. Der Nachgeschmack ist leicht säuerlich-weinig, aber immer noch recht süßlich-süffig.
--> Für Cider recht süß, aber stimmig!

From cask at Caley Sample Room. Pours hazy to murky yellow with a small white head. Aroma is light cinnamon like spiced, herbal and citric apples. Sweet, citric and crisp fruity. Nice, mellow and yet with an edge, light sweetness and nice small notes of something hard to pinpoint, yet giving some complexity. Smooth fruity, sweet and light citric finish.

At the Mercat, Edinburgh. Pours a pale golden with gentle bubbles and no head. The nose is of sweet apples. The taste is definitely of sweet apples. The palate is light to medium bodied with light to medium depth of flavour and a fairly clean finish despite the sweetness. It’s ok.

Bottled@Cosmic Comic Cafe, Turku. Pale golden colour, not much head. Aroma is sweet apples, some fruit sugary notes and that about it. Flavour is fruit sugar, sweet apples, raisins (sweet riped grapes?) and some mild notes of pear. Extremely sweet. A bit less sweetness and it would be more pleasant and easy to drink.

Bottle at Craigs big Edinburgh tasting, this bottle courtesy of ’Craig’, thanks mate. Shared in company of Craig, Stella, Jan, Charlotte, Fritz and Loz 30.10.10 The aroma is very sweet with this, that’s the first thing that I noticed. Mmmhh.. this is a bit syrupy and with sacchrine sweetness also showing, colour is very yellow. it’s an awful sweet mess, bit like a boiled sweet with sherbert centre which is fine but not how I like my cider’s.
