Golden with moderate fizziness. Ripe, pulpy, apple fruit, a hint of sourness and a floral edge, before a short finish. So so.

750ml bottle from local shop. Eye - very clear pale yellow, no head, slow moving carbonation; looks crap. Aroma - funky apple and sweaty socks; not exactly inviting but there is something going on here, maybe it will taste ok. Taste - tart apples, some funky barnyard earthiness in the background, semi-fresh, sweet but with a dry finish; its oddly ok. Palate - light, slightly oily, sharp carbonation bite; fine. Overall - its somewhere in-between a cheap white cider and something good. Its better than their original vintage at any rate.

Shared at home. Pale straw, nearly colorless, no head. Very watery cold apple juicy, hint of mustard, little to no sweetness, medium bitter and a tart edge. Flimsy thin aroma, feels like a white wine. No body, faint fizz. Not great but easy drinkable.

Very thin white head which vanishes fast. Clear golden pour. An average cider.

750ml Bottle found lurking on the bottom shelf of Asda. Pale gold and brief fizz. Aroma is sweet slightly sour with a yeast/chalk note. Taste is disappointing like very sour apple juice. Light body but a little oily on the palate. Low to moderate carbonation which doesn't really add anything. Poor stuff.
