Hazy yellow, no head. Aroma is oranges, kinda like orangina. A mix of orange juice and ginger ale. It's pretty sweet, with the most subtle tartness. Highly carbonated, light mouth feel. Light apple flesh, with watery orange juice, and quite sweet.

Cask days 2015. Good tart apple aroma, with some light smokiness and distinct brown sugar sweetness with touches of mollasses. Carb is soft, mouth feel is good. Finish is all tart, crisp apples with that distict brown sugar rounding off the cider.

Cask days 2014.
Slightly tart apples with somepeach sweetness. The tartness fades to a slightly tangy peach finish. Some light wet paper, light wood, even some vanilla. Odd.
