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!

Box @ Stable, Birmingham. Pours murky browny gold. Aroma is medicinal, muddy. Continues to taste with additional TCP, worn plaster and tangy woody tannins on the finish. Awful.

Straight from the wooden barrel, poured by Mr Roger Wilkins himself. It pours bright hazy green-gold. The aroma is earthy, rustic, bitter- sweet, tangy fruity action, tannins, farmyard, funky brett, white grape and apple skin. The taste is bitter - sweet, earthy, rustic, barnyard, sweet apple pie, apple skin, tangy fruits, tannins, wood, leather, hay, dull florals and a touch of spice to round things off. Even though this is medium, the finish ends up pretty dry. Alcohol is entirely hidden. As with the dry version the drinkability and subtle complexity is breathtaking. Balanced and crushable. Absolutely Grade-A cider.

Jar from the brewery, brought by a friend. He didn’t know which it was exactly, but it was not overly sweet, but certainly not dry. I suspect it’s somewhere in between and as it also is the most rated version, I’ll put my rating under this entry. Hazy golden color, virtually no head. Lovely aroma of sweet apple with funky notes, slight farmhouse, bit spicy even. Soft sweet in taste, bit funkiness. I’d love to try more of these kinds of farmhouse ciders instead of the dry and sparkling rubbish macro cideries make.
