Crimson King is a single variety dry cider named after the bittersharp apple of the same name. Light coloured, sharp and strong with a complex floral and fruity aftertaste. Back again this year from the 2020 crop of a cluster of 10 trees on the slopes of Pennard hill, only a few fields away from Glastonbury festival site.

Growler from LCB at 7.5%. Hazy gold with no head. Funky barnyard apple aroma with light floral and decent fruitiness. Taste has a nice balance of fleshy apple fruitiness with the funk and moderate sourness. Drying finish with an increasing acidity. Very good. My 100th Somerset cider and 23rd Somerset cidery.

2/6/2022. From BIAB at the 35th Colchester Real Ale & Cider Festival. Pours hazy yellow gold with minimal head. Aroma is musty apple, mucky, farmyard, horse blanket, fruity, citrus. Light sweetness, moderate bitterness, tartness and body. Oily and watery, soft carbonation. Dry finish. Quite enjoyed this.

500ml bottle from Tricky. Slightly hazy golden colour, some short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of apple, mucky funk hints. Taste is tangy, apple, tart, fleshy, with some funk and citric acidity. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry finish. Nicely drinkable.
