75cl bottle from Ludlow Food Centre. Pours a deep amber, nice rich caramelised woody apple on the nose. Continues to taste forming a nice rich caramelised character, soft tannic presence with good raw fleshy moments. Excellent Herefordshire cider.

75cl bottle from Ludlow Food Centre. Appearance - deep amber with very slight carbonation. Nose - dry oak barrel and tart but at the same time soft red apple. Taste - woody, rich, dry apple. Palate - medium bodied, bittersweet and dry all at the same time. Overall - interesting cider, quite challenging but good.

75cl bottle from Ludlow Food Centre. This one is called 'Fletcher's Premium Cider Medium Sweet' but since it is 6% am making the assumption that it fits in here. Appearance - deep but bright amber. Nose - sweet, ripe, stewed apple. Taste - more of the rich apple, possibly stewed. There is still a little acid though. Palate - tangy but mainly sweet and creamy in texture. Medium bodied. Overall - a little sweet for my taste, but well made.

31/12/2019. Sample courtesy of minutemat, cheers! Pours pale amber with minimal head. Aroma is dank, apple, biscuit, caramel, touch farmyard. Medium sweetness, light tartness. Moderate body, oily texture, average carbonation. Quite a long dry finish with a lasting tangy fruitiness. Enjoyed this.
