Cloudy pale yellow, very brief fizz; looks a bit lifeless. Aroma of tart apple juice, quite pithy, light leather, some sweet sugars. Taste of medium cider, semi-drying at start with apple pith and skin notes finishing semi-sweet with a light spice tingle. Near medium bodied, low to medium carbonation but enough to get flavours around the palate. Tasty and better than I was expecting.

Bottle from Cooperative Supermarket, Hebden Bridge. Yellow-golden with a light carbonation. Bitter-sweet taste, although perhaps the latter aspect is dominant, with a good apple evident in both aroma and taste.

Bottle from Co-op Oldmeldrum. It pours not that cloudy at all! It is clear pale greenish - yellow with a small, frothy white cap. The aroma is perfumed & intoxicating, sweet - sour apple, apple skin, apple crumble, dry oak, sweet white grape, melon and candy. The taste is fairly crisp upfront, snappy, bitter - sweet, bright sweet apple character, apple skin, oak, light tannin, white sugar, golden delicious, melon, spor plooms, sherbet, pineapple chunks, candy and a light nip of booze with a sweet candied apple finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Errs towards a bit too sweet for me, but there is tang and boost. Not bad.

500ml bottle from Co-op, Cockerton. Hazy yellow gold colour, short-lived fizzy white bubbly head and aroma of apple, fruity, leathery funk, sugar, hint of sulphur. Taste is sweet, fruity, apple, juicy, funky, some leather, straw, with sugary notes and light tannins. Medium bodied, light carbonation, medium-sweet finish. Quite drinkable, abit sweet.
