Only rateable Cider of the evening (sixth rate) at the 31st May 2026 Bandstand Beer Gathering in Shrewsbury, five of us sharing stuff. Lots going on, with apples being the main player (just).

Sample courtesy of mR_fr0g, cheers Fergus! Reddish orange amber colour, bubbly white foam head and aroma of ripe apple, berries, red currant, cherry, some funk. Taste is tart, apple, fleshy, with fruity berry, plum, currants, cranberry, gooseberry, with some funk, woody oak and drying tannins. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying fruity woody tannic finish. Very drinkable.

Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 16/07/23 Almost clear golden amber with an off white cap that clears edgewards. Nose is tarte apple, redcurrant, herb, cherry stone, funk, hedgerow. Taste comprises green berry must, apple, tannins, farmyard, berry skins, straw, orchard wood, light sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Solid stuff ... probably don't need to look up but this has to be my #1 fruited cider.

Bottle at home picked up from fuss clube. Ahazed plummy red coloured pour with a lasting pinkish off white head. Aroma is lovely tart reb berries, prickly red currant and cranberry, little sweetness, tart, but clean. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, mixed red berries, acai, cranberry, cherry, light yogurty funk, lovely berry medley, super crisp drying finish. Palate is crisp with a touch of sweetness, drying finish, airy prickly finish. Superb.
