Bottle that Isobel (Loz’s mum) kindly picked up for me at The Hop Pocket shop, Herefordshire (think?) consumed 10.08.10 Pours pale gold, crystal clear and with just a few stray bubbles showing, its a good looker. This may say medium dry but it’s anything but, really quite sweet but very nice. Plenty of honey amongst the apples, and maybe a touch of floralness though I could be being bamboozled by the name on that one. Easy to get on with cider that will appeal to many.
