Bottle from Marks & Sparks in Rickmansworth, Herts. A clear golden coloured pour with a very thin white head on top. Sweet, apple and whisky notes. Tastes much the same, sweet, apple, whisky, some vanilla too. I really enjoyed this, my first cider rate.

500ml bottle. Orange-pink amber colour, white foam head and strawberry jam aroma. Taste is honey, strawberry fruit, jammy, sweet, with cooked apple notes. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry finish with residual sweetness. Quite OK.

Sampled from bottle at Craft Beer Festival Düsseldorf 2017. Clear, pale golden yellow, no head. Sweetish, sourish-fruity aroma of apples, some wood and hints of whisky. Very sweet, just minimally sourish, fruity taste of apples, vanilla and some wood, followed by a short, minimally tart, a little woody finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!
