Nice white glass 75cl bottle, directly from Sheppy's shop. Color: Clear golden, no head. Aroma: Apple, apple skin. Taste: Apple, some overripe apple, apple skin, some oak wood and some tannins, slightly boozy. Lightly warming mouthfeel. Moderate to over moderate sweet and fruity bitterness, very light tartness. Medium body, no carbonation. Nice Cider-alternative for a bottle of white wine.

750mL bottle, pours a clear golden, no head. Aroma is full of farmhouse funk, crisp apples, and a hint of dry toffee. Flavour is full of dry barnyard funk, horse blanket, and crisp apple skins. Very funky and horse blankety. Maybe not the best English cider out there, but the farmhouse character is really solid. How is this rated so low? People can't appreciate good cider on here apparently. This is great.

75cl bottle from Sheppy's House of Cider. Pours clear gold, still, aroma is varnished woody apple fruit, lightly stewed caramel. Taste is fairly rich, ripened apple fruit, generally quite mild with a soft tannic presence, gentle woody influence. Very good.
