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.

Bottle from the producer’s own stand at the Good Food Show at Birmingham NEC. Gold in hue. On the sweet side but crisp fresh apples just about manage to balance the sweetness. Quite light and refreshing in the mouth but I wonder if after a few of these (or if it got too warm) the sweetness wpuld become too much. Nevertheless not a bad little easy-drinker.

Bottle @ Southern, Edinburgh. Cloudy yellow colour, medium carbonation. Aroma of green apples and some pineapple. Medium sweet, light dry finish. Ok cider.

500ml bottle as Virgin Trains Tilting Cider 4.4%. Pours clear gold, overly sweet apple juice aroma, taste is sticky overripe apple juice, pear drops and schloer with a chemical aftertaste. Way too sweet to be enjoyable.

Cask at Tapped Leeds. Basically apple juice, with a light kick. Flat, and sweet. Not my thing.

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.
