On tap at London Cider House, pours a hazy golden with no head. Aroma is very dry, with gentle horse blanket, dry apple skins, and some farmhouse yeast. Flavour is bone dry, with a nice farmhouse funk, bone dry apple, and a pronounced bitterness. Funky, bone dry and flat. Not the most complex but well-made.

Bottle at home, from Cider Incider, 29/05/22. Golden copper pour with a decent sixed white cap as it goes for ciders that dissipates over time but still retains in the form of some edging. Nose is bitter sweet apples, hint of caramel, orchard wood. Taste comprises sweetish apple pulp, tannins, caramel, sugars. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, drying close. Not bad ... a little on the sweet side for my liking.
