Bottle picked up from mum at Worcester Beer Festival Aug 06. Pours a pale golden in fact more pale yellow than golden. The nose is very rummy owing to the barrels that it is aged in, and yet this didn’t overun the taste which was still fresh and relatively crisp and with the apples still shining through. Really enjoyed this cider.

Cask gravity dispense at London Drinker BF 2006. Cloudy gold colour with no head. Bit petroly (acetone actually thanks Chris) and rubber with some pear. Good fruit juice develops as it goes on with a citric finish. Quite juicy once you are past the chemical acetone aroma. Nice finish
