750ml bottle bought from the producer at Bristol Farmers’ Market. Pale gold in colour with a slight haze. Carbonation was moderate but died out quickly after pouring. Tart apple aroma, with some rustic wood, cheese, mushroom and barnyard smells. Flavour was towards the top end of dry - it rmeinded me that Days Cottage dry is about as dry as it gets. However, this meant that the flavour was more enjoyable, with some dry fruit, more wood and barnyard, leading to a tart finish without the acidic edge of the dry. Very enjoyable and on a different planet quality wise to the Gaymer’s cider i tried earlier in the day.
