Rolling a little faster at this little cider tasting hosted by Shig's friend Jamie. Clear, pale gold, crispy & active. Sharp fruit, clean veg & oak nose. Earthy, minty, less tannic than the other vintage. Fresh brutal oak, a touch of butter, brightness on the finish. Pretty good.

500ml bottle from Sandford Orchards. Drunk at our lodge at Finlake, Devon. Misty golden yellow appearance. Good fruity nose. Flavour profile presents a lovely oaky tannic medium dry. Nice depth. Like it should be.

Taste comprises apple core, bitter sweet, vinous, herb, orchard wood, hint of pear. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Decent.

500ml bottle at Auntie Sue's (pre-positioned by me), on 1st November 2023. Didn't take to this I'm afraid, bit too sour and woody for me.

Cask at Euston Tap. Hazy medium gold. Still. Funky, tart nose, ripe apple, pickles, touch of oak. Tart, light sweetness, funk, light nail polish. Complex and good.
