21/1/2020. Bottle from Inn At Home, Newbury. Pours clear pale gold with a small bubbly head. Aroma is funky, mucky farmyard, tart apples. Moderate sweetness, tartness and body. Slight oily texture, average carbonation. Dry, tart, tangy, tannic, and slightly salty finish.

500ml bottle from Ciderniks online. Gold colour, no head and aroma of mellow apple & funk. Taste is fruity apple, with leathery funk, some hay & biscuity notes, and tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry tangy tannic finish. Quite OK.

500ml bottle from Cotteridge Wines. Pours a hazy gold, no head, still. Aroma is lightly sour orchard funk. Taste is lightly oily, strong Kingston Black character, nice robust fruit with a very mild tannic tang. Given how old and neglected this bottle looks it seems to have held up well.

Hazy golden color. Mild nice aroma of apples and hazelnuts. Light body; simple apple juice flavor, medium-dry, with some apple skins, and late light astringency.
Simple but pleasant.
