500ml bottle @ Engine House Museum, Highley. Pours clear deep gold. Aroma has good rich medium apple fruit. Taste presents an excellent medium dry blend, just enough firm tannic nudges whilst remaining exceptionally fruity. A very good, moreish blend.

75cl bottle from Ludlow Food Centre. Pours a deep varnished gold. Pleasantly deep ripened medium apple fruit. Taste continues, wonderfully ripe medium fruit, a touch dusty, low acidity. Just a great well rounded cider.

26/4/2019. Bottle, sample, courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed. Pours clear bright mid-gold with a small bubbly just off-white head. Aroma of semi-tart apples, light caramel, stable straw and wood, with funky notes. Light to moderate sweetness with similar tartness. Medium body, oily/sticky texture, soft carbonation. Light dry, tart, tannic finish. Have to agree this is a very good cidery on the strength of these two just tried.

26/4/2019. Bottle, sample, courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed (whilst listening to Ashtar's Urantia to keep with the Brazilian theme). Poured clear bright gold with an average sized foamy but fairly short lasting off-white head. Aroma of medium sweet apples, light wood and tannins. Medium sweetness, light tartness. Medium body, slight oily texture, very soft carbonation. Nice tartness to finish balances the sweetness. Well done.

750ml bottle from trade thanks to minutemat, cheers Mat! Pours an orange-gold amber colour, white foam head that quickly dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of woody apple, hint of funk. Taste is fruity apple, alittle funk, medium sweet with some woody oak and light drying tannin. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi-sweet finish. Nicely balanced, very drinkable.

75cl bottle while listening to Beneath the Remains, 30 years since it released! Pours a deep clear amber, white ring. Aroma presents good medium fruit. Good fruity character, not too sweet, nice fleshy high fruit content, but retaining quite a nice mild gentle vibe. Soft underlying tannin. Nice all-rounder, good drinkability.

75cl bottle from Ludlow Food Centre. Pours gold with a light mist, thin ring of white bubbles atop. Aroma presents some nice medium sweet apple fruit. Taste is vibrant, fleshy medium apple fruit, some subtle comforting fuzzy textures. Excellent fruity presence, medium bodied with very minimal natural carbonation. Very good introduction to this producer.
