Bottle shared at the chriso Snow Tasting - London. Pours clear yellow. Sugary apple aroma. Medium to big sweet flavor with lots of stewed apples. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. It actually dries out a little bit, leading to some odd smoke notes. Quite dry on the finish, with subtle spiced and ripening apples. Not bad.

Bottle from Euston Cider Tap. Amber/gold, cloudy as you like. A bit of head and high carbonation. Bready, yeasty, caramel-apple aroma. Nice. The taste has the tartness and funk that you look for in a proper cider, without the extreme sourness inherent in some scrumpies. Bitter/sour finish with the slightest tempering sweetness. This is really nice.

750ml bottle from Euston Cider Tap. Pours an Irn Bru orange, extremely fizzy with a thick dry texture, sharp tannins and a rich furry dryness. Taste is strong and woody with some farmyard and dusty cider cellar elements. Not amazing.
