Bottle from the Bristol Cider Shop. Very pale green in colour. Light, fresh pear aroma with a touch of herb and sweetness. Flavour began with sweet fruit juice, before full-bodied, slightly oily skins and cores, leading to a tart, slightly lemony finish. Very good and full of character for the ABV.
