Bottle from Croots Farm Shop, Duffield, Derbyshire. New producer for me. Burnished gold colour, a bit too fizzy but reasonably full bodied. On the sweet side of medium. Decent apple juice flavour, a little leather and sweat. Got a bit boring by the end, but maybe I shouldn't be expecting too much depth from a 4.5% cider. Quite drinkable overall, although I think the Mrs liked it better than me.

Growler from LCB. Clear gold, still. Has a light vintage depth in aroma, some barrelled apple juice, skins and light vinegar. Taste is more mellow than expected - bittersweet apples, light sour sweet, hint of citrus. Slick body. Lacks character for a vintage although very drinkable.

330ml bottle from a bag in a box, lowcostbeer.com. Pours a light cloudy dark gold/amber, no head, still. Aroma of old stewed apples, brown sugar, burnt plastic; odd. Taste is bittersweet desert apples, tart but with a fruity finish, caramel, sugars. Slick moderate to full body. It's rather good.
