250ml bottle from Rich's Cider Farm, Highbridge. Aroma has sweet honey with a bitter boozy edge. Clear amber. Head is limited to a few translucent bubbles which then shrink away. Sweet with a bitter edge. Booze. Honey, of course. Slightly veg notes. Thick bodied. Slick to oily. Flat-soft carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Enjoyable warming stuff... especially as I am coming down with a head cold right in time for Chertsey.
