On gravity at the Prince of Wales, Farnborough. The blackboard called it ’Merry Monkey Scrumpy’? However was pretty sweet so am presuming it’s the Merry Monkey and not Monkey Scrumpy. Aroma of floral apple blossom. Light gold. No head. Sweet, but with a savouriness in the finish. Medium bodied, velvety soft, with an abrupt finish. Haven’t ever gone for ciders but have really enjoyed the couple I’ve had here recently (another cider and a perry at the beer fest).

Box @ Calans, Hebden Bridge. Cloudy orange colour. Has a dry start with a subdued sweetness, but a decent enough apple flavour.

Draught @ Bree Louise. Pours a very cloudy yellow, a touch tart with some custardy apple flavours. Not bad but had better Lilley’s ciders.

Guest cider @ Bedford Arms, Bedford. Dark yellow-orange, quite cloudy. Sharp fruity aroma. ’Real scrumpy!’ says my nose. This I taste it, far too sweet for me and the lower ABV shows. It’s not bad, but not particularly distinguishable from Lilley’s other still sweet ciders (except again for the 4.5%).
