Bottle 750ml, picked this up at The Hop Pocket, Bishops Frome, Herefordshire 11.09.10 consumed 12.09.10 Pours light gold, medium carbonation with some white bubbles. Aroma is honey tinged and floral. Taste is really sweet and yet on this occasion I don’t mind at all because it really is quite different, very honeyish, feels quite thick and substantial in the mouth, almost slight oily thickness, not sure I’ve ever had a Russet single varietal cider before but I understand that this producer concentrates on dessert apple single varietals according to the Hop Pocket owner. I don’t really get the oakiness, there is a tanginess but its really rather swamped by the gushing sweetness. I like it because it is quite different. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.4
