330ml bottle. Clear gold, small foamy head which leaves a spattering, decent looking carbonation. Aroma of floral and fruity apples. Taste is fruity slightly tangy apples, a light bitterness offset, tannins. Light to medium bodied, slight zingy carbonation, semi-dry. Enjoyable.

500ml bottle. Pale yellow appearance. Very decent AF cider, lots of apple flavour, crisp, a touch of sulphur on the finish, but generally pretty flavoursome. Guessing this is made by Sheppys.

330ml bottle – Pours a clear red-gold colour with a tiny fizzy head that quickly disappeared. The aroma is fruity and floral, apple and berry with some light straw notes. A sweet fruity taste, apples and black berry flavours with a light sherbet fizz in the mouth. One for those who like their cider sweet.
