Bottle from Whole Foods in Folsom, CA. Still it is. Pale gold pour. Aroma of mixed apple skins with a distinct, faint rum note. Flavor is apple, apple skin and rum notes. Rum’s definitely present, but oak is questionable. It does seem a bit astringent. Fairly complex flavor combination. The finish is pretty dry.

Bottle from The Hop Pocket, Bishops Frome, Herefordshire summer 2011 consumed at home w/c 07.11.11 This isn’t too dissimilar to the perry from Lambourn that I’ve just had in terms of appearance, i.e. a bit like Robinsons Barley Water, though maybe a little paler and clearer. Some wet woodland and nail varnish on nose, nicely juicy, but with underlying dryness coming through, tangy fruity and very decent. . A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Bottle at Fin & Loz’s tasting with Jan, Charlotte, Craig, Stella & kids consumed 21.10.11 I picked this up at The Hop Pocket, Bishops Frome, Herefordshire summer 2011 Pours gold with good clarity. There is a light bubbling, otherwise little else going on, on the head or carbonation front. A very nice cider, really good tried next to the Beauty of Bath cider also from Ross on Wye, drying and with a good tang. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4

Bottle at Fin & Loz’s tasting with Jan, Charlotte, Craig, Stella & kids consumed 21.10.11 I picked this up at The Hop Pocket, Herefordshire, summer 2011 Pours mid gold, this is just so wonderfully tangy, sweetness is quite prevalent, but the appley tanginess is almost slightly numbing on the tongue. There is a light nuttiness from the apple skins to finish things off. Marvellous cider. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Sampled @ Southampton Arms, London. Pale yellow color. Smell only sweetness and lightly pear, maybe slightly musty. Tastes really sweet, too sweet for me. Low carbonation, low body.
