Monday 13th November 2023. Taken to the Wilkins Cider Shed by a friend. Two barrels, one sweet one dry, had them mixed to produce their 'medium', nice!

13/4/2019. From Bag in a Box, at Hull Real Ale & Cider Festival, 2019. As Wilkins Farmhouse Sweet. Pours hazy/cloudy golden orange with minimal head. Aroma of stewed apples and sweet apple crumble. Medium plus sweetness, moderate tartness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Nice tart/sweet mix to finish. Liked it.

BIAB at Hull Real Ale & Cider Fest 2019. Hazy orange gold colour, no head and mild gluey vinegary aroma. Taste is sharp, vinegar tart and then sweet mellow apple with alittle dry tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, very tart vinegary finish. Quite OK

Straight from the wooden barrel, poured by Mr Roger Wilkins himself. It pours hazy bright gold. The aroma is earthy, juicy, big sweet apple pie character, farmyard funk, light vanilla and marzipan. The taste is initially dry, apple skin, earthy, barnyard, apple pie & ice cream, custard creams, tannins and wood with a dry, fruity finish. Medium bodied and flat. Has a certain creaminess to it. For a sweet cider this is rather nice. My least favourite of the 3 versions of this cider, but still pretty special.

@GBBF2014. Smooth sourish beginning, fruity parts with lots of sour and ripe apples. Not too deep, quite sweetish-ripe to the aftertaste, not too much tannin.

From a polypin at the Orchard, Bristol 16/03/10. Deep gold in colour. A strange combination this one - rustic, barnyardy notes upfront, with plenty of dry tannins and yeast, followed by a mellow, artificial sweetness in the finish. Clashed a bit, but a change from the usual.
