500ml bottle from Sandy Balls Holiday Village farm shop. Drunk on Christmas week. Pours a clear deep caramel. Aroma of caramelised fruit. Expected things to take a cinnamon / gingerbread direction but seems to remain within a caramelised toffee mould. Artificial sweetness, aged notes. Not great.

BIAB at Old Fire House, Exeter. Pours slight unclear gold with no cap. Sweet-ish apple, apple flesh, apple skins, some tannins. Medium body with low/no carbonation. Good to see that Lilley's don't just sent out gimmicky fruity shite. This was alright.

Baginabox at the Chiltern Taps, High Wycombe. Deep gold, no fizz. Sweet from the off but not sticky or syrupy. Was expecting some ghastly, sickly sweet seasonal thing with cloying overdone spices, but there's none of that nonsense. In fact, there's actually a bit of bite, and some tannic apple skins; to my surprise it actually tastes something like a Proper Cider. Very much a dessert one, granted, but I actually rather enjoyed it as a post-Christmas dinner tipple. One of the better sweet ciders I've tried.
