Tap. Hazy yellow, no head. Light bodied. Juicy apples, no cooked flavours. A meadow meets orchard aroma and taste with some funk and little obvious alcohol. There’s a breath of whisky at the end and it’s a bit woody there too. A little piercing sweetness, some tartness, quite dry at the end. Great.

Bottle. Hazy straw-coloured, no head. Light, fruity aroma with some flowers, mellow apple. A little juicy sweetness, some lemon and skins, a little woody and astringent at the dry end. Good.

cloudy straw, brief mousse. Aroma of mainly sweet, some tart apples, a little lemon. A little cheese. Pretty light bodied, quite fizzy. Juicy apples (I’d guess a slim majority of them traditional cider apples), a little musty skin. Very dry, slightly spicy finish. Nice finish, lacks a little grunt and body.

Bottle bought in Brisbane, August 2014. Hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma and taste of fresh apples. The finish was dry and with some tartness. A nicely drinkable one.

Cloudy, pale tan. Fruity aroma w light leather, accents of funky yeast. Soft, very French, some overripe fruit, light apple juice sweetness, delicate carbonation. Decent, quite refreshing cider, approachable yet very artisan.
