A super-smooth blend of mature Jonagold, with just a touch of funk and a dash of smoke on the finish; sweetened with our classic bittersweet keeved cider.

The distinctive text-only label was created on a 1935 typewriter and features the exploits of the quick brown fox and the lazy dog as they enjoy cider and generally hang out at Cat's bar.

Episode Two out now.

Many thanks to Shig. Glass mug pour at Sam's, I mean George's NC tasting.

Transparent, light honey gold, quick soda head.
Tannic, classic bittersweet nose, big floral honey, slight green pepper.
Bittersweet leaning sweet, honey, green veg, very clean yeast, slightly pedestrian, lovely lingering tannins. Just above entry level in all the right ways.

Super sloshable.

750ml wired cork bottle from Pilton. Sparkling golden colour, short-lived white foamy head and aroma of mellow juicy apple, earthy hint. Taste is mellow, tart, fruity, slick, apple, with funky solvent hints and an oaky smoked note. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying woody tannic & smoke hint at the finish. Nicely drinkable.
