Wetherspoon Summer Cider Festival 2025 #1. Managed to convince the staff to pour me three thirds of festival ciders starting with this more autumnal tasting effort with the toffee apple strong in taste and aftertaste.

On tap at West Riding Refreshment Rooms, Dewsbury - Clear pink body, no head. Big ice-cream kick to this, sweet vanilla leading the way, very little in the way of raspberry. Very much like diluting juice.

330ml tap to bottle. Pours a cloudy gold, still. Aroma of pithy apple juice, light flora. Taste of fruity apple, some citrus, vanilla, touch of stewed apple tart. Medium bodied, smooth, light creaminess, only semi-drying coarseness at the end. Quite tasty.
