Hand bottle at ChrisO’s, London. Pours clearish pale yellow. Musty, dank and pukey aroma. Weird flavor, dry with more musty and dank notes, light sweetness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Very dry on the finish - bone dry, in fact - with faint, dank apples. Not great.

Handbottled@Chriso. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is apples, wood, some herbs, vanilla and mild tartness. Flavour is quite similar, ending in a rather mouthdrying way. Quite basic dry cider, but at the same time quite easy to drink.
