Tasting at Ryan's, corked bottle
Pale, barely some yellow shade. Weird aroma, herbal, wild flowers. Moderately sweet, some cider, light herbal touch, some spirit.
Ok drink, nothing special.

Pale gold, and the aroma is apple, with a little bit of alcohol. A bit boozy up front and sweet apple sugars. Not bad, could do with a bit of complexity for the strength, but it's not so bad.

375mL bottle, pours a clear blonde. Nose is boozy, with subtle apple skins, light toffee, and booze. Flavour is very boozy upfront, followed by lots of sweetness, and apple skins. Boozy, sweet and lacking refinement. Pleasant but not very sophisticated.
