On hand pump at the Southampton Arms, London 25/03/10. Golden in colour with slight carbonation. Sweet rum aroma with some tart apple juice. Rum was less evident in the flavour, which was medium dry with a touch oif apple skin. Good.

From a polypin at the Orchard, Bristol November 2009. Pale, slightly hazy gold. Fruity aroma of apple juice with a hint of honeyed sweetness. Very easy drinking, perhaps more medium than sweet, with a lingering juicy finish.

bottle, in the cellars of Broome Farm, August 2009. Another single variety cider. Not as balanced as many blended ciders, but showing off the character of the Yarlington apple very well. Medium-dry with a bitter-sweet character.

bottle, in the cellars of Broome Farm, August 2009, what a name. Lots of characterful apples, indeed bitter-sweet. Not as balanced as many ciders, but much more interesting, because it shows the character of this apple variety.
