From bottle. Pours canary yellow with practically no foam. Aroma is sweet, obviously apple (not green apple). Body is medium, with some stickiness. Taste is very sweet. Finish is fortunately short enough.

Clear deep golden color with a small bubbly white head that soon vanish. Decent intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Moderate acidity. Oak, some whisky and typical apple cider flavor.

Bottle ar Whiski Rooms, Edinburgh. Bright pink color. A little apple in the aroma. Very sweet, artificial strawberry, apple, and a sweet fruit finish. It actually tastes good, but too sweet to drink a lot.

Average appearance. Overripe apple aroma with hints of solvents. Flavor isn’t bad. Not too sweet, just solid workaday cider. Good body. Ok finish.

Keg at the Bootlegger, 29/07/16. Light reddish strains in a pale golden pour with a decent off crimson cap. Nose is light strawberry tang, straw, light floral notes, crisp apple melodies. Taste comprises subdued apple pulp, hint of perfume, strawberry jam pips. Medium body, fine carbonation, drying close. So so ... fruit ... schmoot.
