Why guilty? Because listed in the ingredients you will see sugar & carbon dioxide – it’s sweetened & carbonated: this is the cider to drink at the end of the wine fair; the one for street food; to have sat in the fridge for a time most desired; because you’re having a barbecue & just want to unwind. It’s a humble but brilliant one for those times after the main event, when you just want to switch off.
Satiating those desires for something with a little sweetness, have those bubbles dance in your mouth, without having to resort to something crap. It has a big spicey nose, with a touch of funk. The first taste is bright acidity, matching the apple sweetness, then the orange & clove character builds. It’s a cider alive & full of flavour.

Keg @ That Beer Place, Chester. Clear deep gold appearance. Lovely fleshy fruit to taste, mild custardy sweetness, soft tannin. Really nice and, dare I say, crushable.

6/1/2022. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. Pours clear golden amber with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of semi-sweet apple with nice mucky, funky, woody notes. Medium sweetness. Dry, sweetish tannic finish. Very nice.

Can at home picked up from HOTM. A clear bright golden orange coloured pour with a fadin white fizz. Aroma is clean semi sweet, bright apple, wood, some oak, some plastic. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, light tangy apple, twist of lemon, pinch of spicy vinegar, toffee, some oaky tannin./ Palate is semi sweet and mellow sour, highish carbonation . Nice. Some dungy funk.
