Pours amber with gentle bubbles and no head, though a little froth. The nose is very dry and sour, so apples obviously, but also going into cider vinegar. The taste is again very dry, so a crisp apple note at the front then a really tangy apple and yeast finish. The palate is lean in structure and texture and then long and dry on the finish. Overall, a really interesting absolutely bone dry cider.

50cl bottle. Pours amber with gentle bubbles and no head. The nose has very sour apples. The taste has a beautiful balance of sweet ’n’ sour, since it’s a medium, there is just a touch of sweetness on the front of the palate and this is balanced with a long dry sour finish. The palate is lean but concentrated with a lot of length and the refreshing finish means I’m refreshed for the next mouthfull. Overall, this is great!

Plastic cask, 7% at GBBF08 as Mahorall Shropshire 5. Sour lemon aroma. Cloudy orange colour. The flavour is quite citric, some apple and enough sweetness to make it flavourful.
