500ml bottle, takeout from The Fighting Cocks, Oakengates. Pours clear copper, no head. Still. Taste is smooth and clean. Smooth fruity apple character leading to a dry finish. A touch of vanilla but altogether not too complex.

500ml bottle, takeout from Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Wellington. Pours clear pale gold, aroma is light perry fruit. Taste is light and clean with a mild fruity sweetness. Just the slightest nudge towards its 6% strength with a smooth, almost slick ripened perry finish. Easy-drinking this.

Bottle from Middle Farm Cider Centre. It pours clear deep gold with a quickly dissipating white head. The nose is musty, earthy, farmyard funk, light manure, sweet apple and apple skin. The taste is crisp, bitter, earthy, apple skin, drying astringency, touch of apple pie, some alcohol heat and sweet honeyed apple in the background with a rather dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Pretty unique stuff. Not for those with a sweet tooth!

Bottle from Middle Farm. Opens with some fizz. It pours clear deep golden - orange with minimal head. The nose is rich, earthy, funky, farmyard, brett, bitter-sweet apple, light caramel, touch of spice and apple pie. The taste is dry wood upfront, apple skin, sharp apple, light funk, earth, tannin, light acidity, touch of gooseberry/white grape and some alcohol boost through the dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Rather dry. Rather unique. The aroma stands out for sure.

The taste is bitter - tart, dry, apple skin, apple pie, barnyard, stewed pear, mild acidity, wood and light lemon sherbet with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Very nice overall. Proper funk going down. Yup.

500ml bottle from Fire & Ice, Narberth. Pours hazy gold with a honeyed aroma. Taste is smooth with a faint sparkle, markedly sweet although not sickly, with some honey and vague vanilla and overripe apple flavours. Drinkable and moreish in a 5 litre tub at a folk festival kind of way.
