It is here that Tempted Cider was born.

50cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours loaded yellow, crisp transparent, with medium-gross white foam. Aroma is of apples indeed, but particular, recalling prosecco, probably because of the yeast used. Body is average, like carbonation. Taste is medium sweet, with a hint of acidity. Final is average.

[50cl bottle from Morrison’s, Bracknell.] A straw coloured pour with a fast fizz; sweet dessert apple aroma; sweet apple taste with a spritzy mouth feel; then a drier finish with some tannins. A decent cider.

500ml bottle via Pilango online. Pours gold with a light mist, sparkling. Nice fruity nose. Taste is largely pure fruit with good woody tannic shades, nice bitterness, nice fleshy lightly stewed elements. Pretty good bottled medium dry.

500ml bottle from Pilango, shared with Soph watching the Soundgarden documentary Motorvision. Pours clear gold, sparkling. Aroma is light sulphur, distant apple funk. Taste presents a light apple sweetness, clean with a noticeably drying close, perhaps too much for me. Would've liked more of a fruity linger. Generally decent.
