Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy red grape in colour with the odd floater visible too. Some head retention unusually. Nose - tart redcurrant combined with sweet apple jelly. In general quite perfumed. Taste - redcurrant jelly, a touch of cranberry, red cherry and red apple skin. Palate - light bodied, a lovely balance between tart fruit, tannic fruit skin and sweet fruit and alcohol. Overall - I really like this, for some reason.

Bladder bag at the Thirty Nine Steps, Broadstairs, 24/11/23. Cherry red with a light crimson cap. Nose is bitter sweet cherries, light orchard fruits, apple core, straw. Taste comprises apple skin, cherry stones, grains, straw, light vinous notes. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Not bad for a flavoured affair ... wouldn't exactly call the cherry sour but at lease not sweet like it often is in a cider.

On cask at The Grapes, pours a hazy blonde with almost no head. Aroma brings out dusty farmhouse funk, crisp apple skins, and some hay. Flavour is medium sweet, with crisp apple skins and subtle farmhouse funk. I'd like less sweetness and more farmhouse character, but this isn't terrible.
