Hazy orange gold with no head and tart, funky apples on the nose. Dry apple taste with acidity and a dry finish. I imagine the sweet-dry barometer on this varies from batch to batch, this was pretty damn dry!

Sample courtesy of Cheeseboard, cheers Simon! Golden colour, some short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of fruity apple, funk. Taste is sweetish and slightly tart, apple, fruit, with some barnyard funk and bittersweet tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying tangy tannic finish. Quite drinkable.

Box pint @ Cromwell's, freebie for smashing the 'Can You Beat The Heat of My Meat' hot chili dog challenge. Pours a deep orange. Lovely natural orchard fruitiness coming through on the nose. Excellent smooth scrumpy feel, nicely accessible whilst retaining a good fleshy tannic character. Really good.

Nose is crisp apple, caramel, sugars, grains, herb. Taste comprises bitter sweet apple, tannins, straw, vinous notes. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Decent.

Panda pop from Lowcostbeer. It pours ever so slightly hazy deep orange brown with no head. The aroma is musty, funky, barnyard, apple skin, apple pie, apple cider vinegar, damp oak and chamomile. The taste is firmly dry and tannic upfront, dry oak, bitter - sweet character, juicy apple, tangy, apple skin, crunchy, funk, autumnal spice, damp leaves, forest undergrowth, splash of acidity with apple cider vinegar and some funky barnyard vibes in the backdrop. It finishes as it starts - bone dry and tannic. Medium body and fairly oily mouth feel. Nice depth and interesting flavour profile. Good hearty cider.
