500ml bottle @ 6.8%. Pours clear gold with small circular bubbled retention. Aroma of green apple skins, some funk, sweet and tart notes. Taste is sweet and tangy apple juice, slightly acidic, some apple peel, slight dryness but its a sweet cider overall. Lacks some complexity but is nice.

500ml bottle. 2012 Harvest, Dabinett & Redstreak apples. Deep golden colour, short lived bubbly white foam head and aroma of tangy apple, apple skin, woody oak. Taste is sweetish dry apple, apple skins, woody oak, vanilla, with some acidity and tannin. Spritzy mouthfeel, medium bodied, high carbonation, drying tannic finish. Quite OK.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s, strangely enough. Vintage 2012. Pours a bright wotsits orange. Exceedingly dry, with an acidic sweetness and a little apple core. Not the best of the bunch.

Bottle of the 2010 Vintage at home in London with Lyoli, during the opening ceremony. Pours clear gold, effervescent with a fading, white head. Mild apple nose with some musty dankness. Light to medium sweet flavor with subtle apples, hints of spices, a bit of dry musk and mold. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Finishes lightly dry and semi-sweet, with modest apples, some apple skins. It’s a very subtle cider - some might even say bland. Easy drinking, either way.
