750ml wired cork bottle from Darts Farm. Cage off and cork ejected itself, no spillage though. Pours pale yellow gold with huge dissipating opaque loose foamy head. Aroma: white grape, merest apple hints. Taste: firmly dry, light sharp, more white wine vibes. Medium body with spritzy carbonation. It's not cider, it's champagne.

750ml wired cork bottle from Aeble. Gusher on opening. Pale yellow gold colour, big foamy white head that dissipates to a thin layer and aroma of light apple, fruit, white wine & caramel hints. Taste is fleshy apple, fruity, white-wine, woody oak, with some drying acidity. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry finish. Quite drinkable.

75cl bottle from Sandford Orchards. Pours a deep gold with a lively effervescence. Aroma of schloer, sparkling wine, grape. Flavour profile veers away from cider and seems more in tune with a good cremant or champagne with little tannin or cider apple notes. Nicely sweet, flavoursome, high effervescence but not quite enough apple fruit coming through for a cider.
