750mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of lavender, cinnamon apple pie, and strawberry — fairly dry. Flavour is dry but bright, with lavender, cinnamon apple, gentle funk, and a hint of plums. Tart, dry, gently acidic and floral finish. The adjuncts work well together. Very good.

A hazed pinkish cider with a very thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity apple jam with plums and strawberry, light acidity, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity apple juice, plums, light Epsom salts, almost Chinese, very nice.

(750ml blend 1 bottle from the cidery webshop) Pours lightly hazed intense pale pinkish orange with a small whitish head fading rapidly. Lavender is surprisingly dominant on nose and palate, especially late sip, overlaying a core of soft tart apples, rhubarb and floral strawberries with a perfumed, lightly bitter and heady quality. Plums are very soft and support the other adjuncts with a light tannic bite. Overall lightly sweet and lightly tart finishing quite dry with loads of lavender in the aftertaste. Light to medium bodied with soft effervescence. Summer in a bottle! Great al fresco aperitif.
