Moderate sweetness, medium tartness. Moderate body, oily texture, still carbonation. Dry, tart, slightly acidic vinegary finish.

500ml bottle, thanks to Danlo! Pours misty pale yellow, thin bubbly ring atop. Taste is pretty dry, light sulphur, soft acidity, pure juice, fairly thin in terms of fruitiness but the juice is there. Not bad.

Danke an danlo. Keine Karbonisierung. Süffiger, mild säuerlicher Beginn von Äpfeln und Birnen. Weiche, dadurch insgesamt etwas langweilig. Milde Würzigkeit, trockener Hintergrund, wässriger Abgang. Interessant aber nicht unbedingt gut. 9/8/8/8/13/8

Bottle from Better Foods, Bristol. Yellow in colour, with little carbonation. Medium dry, and rather thin, apple fruit, a touch of funkiness and semi-tart finish. Alcohol was well-hidden. Ok.

Bottle from Brewer’s Droop, Bristol. Pale gold with no head and little carbonation. Light, fresh apple juice aroma with a hint of flinty minerals. Full-bodied, yet light flavoured, with some tart, stewed apple, trace of spice and dryish boozy finish, with an aftertaste of apple skins. An unusual cider and worth trying, I wonder what apples it was made from.
