On tap at the Crown & Trumpet, Broadway. Murky orange colour. Tangy apple, some earthy straw and a little dry, almost bitter apple skin. A bit homebrew scrumpyish, nothing elegant here, but not as challenging to newcomers as the hardcore scrumpies (scrumpys? scrumpi?). Just a reasonable, honest, down-to-earth cider, and none the worse for it.

BIAG @ The Three Fishes, Shrewsbury shared with my sister-in-law. Pours murky orange. Aroma is mushy fruit. Taste is smooth with light, musty apple fruit. Could do with more bite. Not really floating my boat.
