75cl bottle from House of Trembling Madness, York. Misty gold pour. Natural medium fruit aroma, moderately sweet. Continues to taste with a nice rich tang, natural carbonation, great drinkability for the strength, good body with a nice bite to it. Very satisfying.

Cider Freak Day, Sunday 3rd April 2022. I hosted a cider tasting with my good lady, or son, his girlfriend and my sister-in-law (who didn't really join in much). This clear 500ml bottle was cider number 8; BB 31st January 2023. Decent enough.

On tap at The Maltings York Clear gold colour no head. Good apple flavour. Good dryness. some fruit sugar some real cider apple character but it does have some tannin that attacks the gums which gives it an interest. hides abv well. decent if a tad too sweet.

330ml bottle bought from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Ruby brown,mostly clear with an uneven beige/khaki head. Spicy yeast, cinnamon toast, some sarsaparilla, bourbon biscuit. Sweet taste with a warming spicy booziness mid-sip to the short finish. Despite the heavy carbonation, it fizzles out a little bit, and is too basic to compete wih the best Abbey dubbels. However it's an enjoyable drink from a new brewery, and tastes good enough to recommend.
