Thnx to Thomas ! Pours clear blonde, smell is funky, bit alcohol, some apple. Intense. Taste is full, apples, intense, mild dryness. Not bad ! Bit booze in the back, which is weird concidering the ABV.

Thnx to thomas ! Pours clear blonde, smell makes one expect sweetness, as its def fruit forward, but it also has some of the funkyness. Taste is sharp, mild dry, rather high carbo. mild tartness, full-on fruity. very balanced, and (to me) very unique. best non-ice-cider I’ve had so far, as I recall. Tartness builds up towards the ending, realy making the drinker thirsty for another sip.

Bag in Box at The Milan Bar. It pours cloudy radioactive orange with a small bubbly head. The aroma is earthy, musty, funk, damp leaves, grass, barnyard, sweet apple pie and musty wood. The taste is actually quite sweet upfront, juicy, apple juice, tannin, apple skin, candy, black tea and oaky action with a very drying and slightly astringent finish. Medium body and oily mouth - feel. Sweet and tannic. It’s alright I suppose, but there are plenty better Gwatkin ciders out there.

Box @ JDW Shrewsbury Hotel. Pours a glowing cloudy orange. Taste is fairly light and breezy with woody, acidic elements creeping into a fairly full-bodied character. Not as sharp and sour as previous Gwatkins I’ve tried, with a soft tannic finish and woody bitterness. Could do with a little more fruitiness shining through the must, but it’s not bad, and definitely among the more drinkable Gwatkins.
