Bottle from Scrattings @ 6.2%. Light cloudy gold with circular bubbled retention. Aroma of apple skins and juice, floral to earthy notes. Taste has a bittersweet vibe, somewhat acidic, good apple juice intensity, a touch zesty and herbal, semi-drying close. Medium body with fine carbonation. I like it.

Bottle from Scrattings. Clear light gold, a few bubbles on top. Aroma of mellow floral pears but not the most fruitiest on the nose. Some acidity detectable. Taste is citric, sweet, pleasant if a little dull pear juice, slightly funky acidic finish. OK.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5

Bottle from Scrattings. Cloudy gold, still, a few residual bubbles. Aroma is leathery with apple core and skins, some sweet and tangy notes. Taste starts somewhat bitter apple skins but then gives way to a nice sweeter fruity apple, a touch tangy/acidic and semi-dry in the finish. Good progression through the cider. Smooth medium body. Very good.
