On tap at the lings arms. Hazed golden orange coloured pour with no head. Aroma is odd really funky, horsey vinegar, rubber, sour. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, apple, musty pithy apple skin, hints of funk, farmyard, tangy. Horsey. Palate is semi sweet, pithy, tannin , moderate carbonation. Weird.

The taste is juicy, tangy, acidic, orange marmalade, funk, barnyard and earth with a tangy, acidic finish. Medium body and limited carbonation. Nice elements, but overall harsh.

Bottle from Three Counties Cider, consumed at Isobels, Eardisley, Herefordshire, Sunday 1st November 2015. Almost copper in colour, good clarity, busy carbonation. Wet appleskin on the nose. Furry across the roof of the mouth, typically quite twangy, fizz continues, appley flavours indeed but these have the air of a more mainstream and less artisan/craft cider. Quite heavy tannins, soft in mouth a little bit of apple pie mush when you leave it in the mouth for a while, ok but Tom Oliver makes much better ciders. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov10 2.9

330ml bottle from Gloucester Services Farm Shop. Pours clear gold with a nice sparkle. Aroma is fresh apple juice and light sour. Taste presents a distinctly more sour and tannin-rich blend than the last Gold Rush. Perhaps too much so, tingling the teeth as you struggle with the harsh mouthfeel. Have to say I did prefer the previous two more. I guess this demonstrates the unpredictable element that lambic yeast gives.
