Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a clear yellow with a small and dissipating white head. Violent carbonation and pressure in the bottle. Leathery and tannic aroma. Light body, huge bubbles, very dry and sulphurous apple accents. Astringent finish. Rough stuff. 171210

Bottle from the Bristol Cider Shop. Golden in colour with slight carbonation. Light aroma of fresh, slightly sweet apple juice with a hint of the barnyard in the background. Flavour was a bit more dry, with traces of green herbs and flintiness complementing the juicy fruit, leading to a medium finish. A pretty good cider, and certainly far better than any other "serve over ice" brand I have tried.

Bottle from the Bristol Cider Store. Pale gold in colour with plenty of carbonation, albeit short lived. Dryish aroma of minerals and pear juice. Full mouth feel with a slight oiliness coating the mouth. Flavour had of dry fruit and skins with a hint of of sweetness in the background, before a tart, mouth puckering finish. Very refreshing.

1 litre bottle bought from the producer at the University of the West of England, Bristol. Deep gold in colour and dead flat with no carbonation. Dryish aroma of apple juice, with a hint of the barnyard and some honey in the background. Flavour was medium dry with plenty of fruit, some oak and more honey, before a medium sweet finish. Very different in character from the dry, particularly the lack of fizz, but good all the same.

1 litre bottle bought from the producer at the University of the West of England, Bristol. Golden in colour, with a slight haze and plenty of carbonation. Aroma of tart apple juice, with a hint of the barnyard. Flavour was clean, with dry fruit juice, a slightly flinty mineral edge, a hint of oak and a decent dry finish, that avoided being too acidic. Very drinkable.

On gravity at Reading Beer festival, 01/05//09. A very clean cider with plenty of yeasty dryness and some tart apple fruit. Perhaps lacking a bit of rustic character, but drinkable nonetheless. Good.

Bottlr from Tesco, Evesham 29-05-07. Despite the name informing you that it was farm pressed this cider actually had a real farmyardy smell, which was great. Had a lovely taste that for me was a very well balanced medium dry cider nice appley bite, really moreish and very refreshing.
