330ml bottle sophiesbeerstore.co.uk. Deep, generally clear Ribena purple, thin ring of pinkish white head. Ribena nose. Taste presents a lovely natural blackcurrant flavour, lots of fruity, pippy notes alongside the browns cider apple fruit. A blackcurrant fruit cider done correctly, which is a rarity nowadays.

Sample from danlo, big thanks! Clear golden with no head. Soft sweet apples, red and yellow character I’d say. Some soft woody and vanilla tones, cooked apple sauce, some hint of an old onion in there, makes me think of specific hop characters.
