500ml bottle from Ludlow Food Centre. Pours a deep gold with a light mist. Aroma is light wild, funk, apple breeze. Gentle, almost natural sparkle. Taste presents a bracing acidity, dusty tannins, wild funk, good apple fruit, drying close. Gentle underlying medium apple fruit. Less harsh than previous Mahorralls.

500ml bottle from the producer @ Whitchurch Food & Drink Festival june 14, drunk in the garden at home. Pours dark purple, still, with an aroma of hedgerow berries. Nicely blended taste, not too sweet, a little astringent with damsons and blueberries adding to itโs natural acidic tang. Nice but not sure Iโd reach for another.

Bottle from a farm shop somewhere in Herefordshire. Has a dry chickenshed aroma, extremely dry, astringent tang that clings to the back of the throat. Quite enjoyed this. Can see it in a snazzy new label stocked in the major stores before too long.

Pours a cloudy orangey-red, with no bubbles (as expected). The nose has apples, cider vinegar and then an appley-yeasty note. The taste has tart apples and more of the sour yeast. The palate is tight but intense in structure and texture and there is a persistent sour finish. Overall, perhaps this is what Scrumpy is supposed to be. It reminds me somewhat of a lambic in terms of the palate - I like it a lot.
