500ml bottle as part of a delivery from Scrattings and drunk at home. Light to mid-gold, a little hit hazy and flat. Light vinegary aroma with hints of apples. Sweet taste with a subtle sour tang nearer to the shoet finish. Very pleasant, although there's not so much to it there certainly doesn't need to be.

Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry tart finish afer some initial cardboardy oxidation that goes away, and then quite OK.

500ml bottle via the Scrattings web portal. Misty yellow appearance. Aroma has natural medium apple fruit. Lovely medium overall, pleasantly fruity with a moderate carbonation and a bit of a sharp wild sour hit to it. Nice.

Bottle from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Grabbed this from stash when I realised that I could make 50 Apple Cider ticks during 2020. Fuck you Covid. Musty apple peel aroma combined with honey and sweet juice. A slight haze to the amber body. No head. Light sour with bitter hints. Tannin and peel. Underlying sweetness appears into the finish. Smooth throughout. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Astringent finish. Enjoyable enough without being flashy.

Bottle from a A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Aroma has has juicy sweetness over a dry apple peel mustiness. Light gold. Yes, it's visibly sparkling. Crisp light-medium sour taste with a sweet edge, moreso at the outset. Light-medium bodied. Thin but slick. Chalky. Low key fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. Nice enough. I can see this resulting in icky burps later. As I drink more the fruity syrupyness seems more apparent.
