29/4/2020. Sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours very pale golden amber with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of medium sweet apples, touch of caramel, citrus and slight funky notes. Moderate sweetness and light tartness. Moderate body. Dry, tangy, tannic finish. Quite liked this.

500ml bottle from Lyne Down via Crafty Nectar marketplace. Golden orange colour, short-lived white bubbly foam head and aroma of musty apple, caramel hint. Taste is sweetish, fruity apple, solventy funk with cardboardy and caramel hints. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, medium-dry finish. Quite drinkable.

500ml bottle drunk at home. Pours gold, crisp but relatively bland taste. Initial fruitiness seems to disappear as you work through leaving you somewhat disappointed. Nice enough but lacking a little something.

Bottle from the Bristol Cider Shop. Pale gold, with a green tinge and plenty of fizz. Light, sweetish apple juice aroma with some chalky minerals. Easy drinking, with plenty of juice, a touch of sugar and medium finish. Ok.

Bottle, Carringtons, Manchester. Clear, pallid golden colour. Aroma put me in mind of the ziider ice lollies I used to suckle on as a nipper. Fairly gently carbonated. Found the flavour to be a bit on the sweet side. Fine to wash a plateful of chicken curry down with, but by no means anything exciting. Methinks they should run with the little cartoon of the big booty wench on the front of the bottle instead of the back..

Piced up at a tiny farm shop at the bottom of Dinmore Hill, Herefordshire (Hereford side of hill) 28-06-08 This cider poured a nice pale golden, was quite crisp in the taste and quite dry though not too dry. Plenty of tatrt apple flavours going on and whilst a new cider producer for me to find out this way there are better around.
