Bottle at Craigs big Edinburgh tasting, this bottle courtesy of ’Craig’, thanks mate. Shared in company of Craig, Stella, Jan, Charlotte, Fritz and Loz 30.10.10 The aroma is very sweet with this, that’s the first thing that I noticed. Mmmhh.. this is a bit syrupy and with sacchrine sweetness also showing, colour is very yellow. it’s an awful sweet mess, bit like a boiled sweet with sherbert centre which is fine but not how I like my cider’s.
