Bottle sampled at Den Haag bottle share at Brody’s. Clear golden with small white head. Soft funk, sweet apple, light almonds, soft herbs, cow dung, soft alcohol, light sweet apricot. Light sweet and bitter. Over light bodied. Nice.

Bottle. Waitrose. Was slightly shocked that this is no longer made at the original mill in Pembridge, but in Cheltenham. I remember visiting Dunkertons, pre RB days and parking in the shittiest, muddiest car park ever, and watching the antiquated machinery in action, and absolutely loving the place. Hey ho, that’s progress, I suppose. Anyway, this pours pale gold, with a light haze. No head. Nose has woody apple, akin to a ripe Russet. Apple cider lolly. Wood shavings. Touch of savoury smoke. Some wet leather funk. A bit spewy and pissy. In a good way. Taste is sweet, with a leathery, funky dryness. Bit of cardboard. Semi dry on the palate. Very easy drinking. Low carbonation. Funky and woody finish. How this has got such a low average score, I don’t know. Also, this is probably in my imagination, but this feels cleaner than a Pembridge made version? Still great, though. Need to drink more cider.

Bottle at Naplavka Cider festival. Rather sweet, moderate sweetness. Med-low complexity of apples, enough to make it sessionable though. Pretty good.

Bottle from Appellation Wines Comely Bank. Appearance - golden with steady bubbles. Nose - light straw, bruised green apple. Taste - green apple skin, more bruised apple. Booze quite obvious. Palate - close to medium bodied, tangy through the middle. Very dry finish. Overall - good thirst quencher. The high acid hides the fact that it's supposed to be medium.
