Draft @ Llandrindod Wells Beer & Food Festival May 2014. Pours gold, label says ’Dry’ in big red pen on the box but I’d say Medium-Dry. Rich tannic apples emerge before a dry finish. Some barnyard dustiness on the aftertaste before subsequent sips bring out smooth funk and the slightest hint of vanilla. Nice.

Draft @ Llandrindod Wells Beer & Food Festival May 2014. Pours a wotsits orange with a light natural sparkle. Tastes appears more Dry than Medium (as labelled). There’s a rawness here but more manageable than other Seidr O Sir ciders, with a tannic pinch and rustic funk. Not bad.
