Bottle at home, from Cider Incider, 28/05/22. Deep golden to light amber with a big old fast collapsing white head. Nose is bitter sweet apples, sugars, caramel, hint of barnyard. Taste comprises more bitter sweet apples, tannins, sugars. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, light drying close. It's ok ... running a little sweet for my liking.

On tap at The Stable, pours a cloudy golden orange, no head. Nose brings out farmhouse funk, musty notes, and dry apple skins. Flavour is loaded with farmhouse funk, with lots of must, and apple skins. Very funky, full of barnyard notes. Excellent.

Box @ Stable, Birmingham. Pours a deep golden caramel. Aroma has an enticing almost mead-like sweetness about it, light toffee, medium apple fruit. Taste presents some interesting sweet swirls, some light mead notes, floral with a soft astringency. Different.

Bottle from Longstock Farm Shop and Cafe. A medium cider. Aroma of apple skin. Some funk. Light gold. Bubbly. Thin frothy white head. Medium sour with some underlying syrupy sweetness. More tart into the finish. Medium bodied. Slick although it's the dryness that really provides the character. Slight astringency to the finish as well. Nice enough.

Bottle from producer's own stand at the Farnham Food Festival. Gold cider, only mildly dry, but full of fresh, bright apple flavours - more like a tart juicy eating apple than a cider apple. Tasty and refreshing. Nice wildlife artwork on the bottle. Lovely couple running the stand, they clearly love their business and it shows in the finished product. I wish them all the best in the future.
