500ml bottle at 7%. Pours murky dark orange with zero carbonation. Aroma is musty sour cheesy apple juice, a little acetone. Taste is very dry. Sour apples. Flat as a witches tit.

500ml bottle from a Farm shop somewhere in Wales. Has a fruity, welcoming aroma but sadly that’s the only good thing about this cider.. the astringency dominates the palate with little apple flavours coming through. Almost undrinkable and terrible label artwork too.
