One juice was pressed, then split into 5, & fermented by 5 different cider makers; hence one juice has created 5 ciders. It's a fascinating study in terroir, being all of the same origin, but allowing each makers approach to shape the fermentation & the cider that results! How are they similar, how are they different? Taste for yourself how much things vary!!
A blend of Dabinett & Brown's apples, pressed by Ross on Wye Cider & Perry; one of the 5 makers, the other 4 being Oliver's, Little Pomona, Pilton, & Hogans. They come as a set of 5 bottles, with a glass & some extra info.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers GB! Aroma is of sweet apple more like cooking apples, slightly funky. Taste is like apple juice, slightly dry, very sweet. Very very nice.

Sample thanks to Danlo. Cheers Ed! Pours caramel gold, aroma of light calvados, alcohol, toffee apple. Taste has a certain barrel influence, calvados perhaps, woody moments with a caramel influence. Interesting, different.

Bottle set from Hogan's. It pours clear bright Irn Bru orange with a fizzy white head. The aroma is bright and zingy, sherbet, refreshers, sweet - sour, soft apple, apple pie, apple skin, funk, brett and splash of white wine. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, light pucker, crisp apples action, sweet - sour character, quite juicy, light sugars, apple pie, light acidity, only a dull woody funk (not as much as aroma), light tannin and hint of alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, fizzy carbonation. Strikes a nice balance. Has a definite sweetness to but kept into check by some tartness and funk.
