Draught at Quakerhouse, Darlington. Slightly hazed golden colour, no head and aroma of apple, wood barrel, funk. Taste is sweetish, appley, fleshy, funky, with oaky whisky barrel notes, some tartness and bittersweet tannins. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry tart & tannic finish. Nicely balanced, very drinkable.

Аромат сильный, много яблок домашних в которые положили немного груш. Цвет не мутный, не особо яркий, желтый как сок домашнйи из яблок, пенки нету. Вкус снова домашние яблочки, но не концентрированно как в соке,чт орадует. Сахара мало, есть даже сухость при глотке. В целом хороший сидр.

Bottle from the beer shop St Albans. It pours clear pale copper with quickly dissipating fizz white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, fragrant, crunchy apple, cherry, red grape, vinous and sherbet. The taste is dryish initially, bitter - sweet, earthy, leafy, leather, crunchy ripe apple, some red fruits, some cherry drops, red grape, tannin, dry oak and warming booze with a drying, leathery finish. Medium body and essentially still. Quite an interesting fruity and savoury offering.

(Draught at London Cider House, Borough, London, 22 Nov 2024) Pale golden colour with no head. Fruity nose with grass, apples and a touch of funky yeast. Fruity, tart taste with notes of green apples, hay and citrus. A slightly tannic finish with a generous acidity. Medium body, dry. Tart, dry and refreshing. Quite nice.

On tap at Toms Tap, Crewe. Pours pale straw with virtually no head (just a few bubbles) and low carbonation. The aroma is mainly alcohol with traces of apple peel and yeast. In the mouth there is a brief slight sweetness before it becomes increasingly sharp leading to a pretty dry finish. Flavour has sharp crab apples, tannins and hints of lemon. This is decent – very enjoyable as long as you take it slowly !
