Bottle thanks to Kenny. It pours clear oily gold with no head. The aroma is crispy, crunchy, apple skin, apple wine, honey, muted funk and white wine. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, oily, sick, sour, crunchy, light tannin, puckering, white wine, gooseberry, apple wine, slightly chalky and a touch of minerality with a drying finish.. medium body and moderate carbonation. Like a tannic white wine.

75cl bottle. Clear gold. Not keeved. Pleasant gently sweet juicy medium aroma. Good juicy light medium cider profile, still. However, the wine-like label, wax seal, cork and wine bottle suggests something more than this - a wine barrel influence perhaps - and, as such, is a little baffling and unnecessary for such a simple mid-strength cider. The pricing similarly doesn't seem justified. Fine cider, with depth and personality is one thing, but simplistic cider packaged and priced as such is a piss take. No option but to mark this down for this reason.
