Polycask at NWAF, Manchester in company of Dad, Pauline and Baz 20.01.12 Pours hazy gold with a light aroma of wet fields. Quite sweet but not overly so, lacks a real depth of flavour, but decent appley flavours, no real crispness. Good cider. A6 A3 T7 P4 Ov13 3.3

Bottle at Fin & Loz’s tasting with Jan, Charlotte, Craig, Stella & kids consumed Saturday 22.10.11 I picked this at Tom Olivers, Ocle Pychard, Herefordshire 2011 Pours hazy yellow/gold with some white bubbles. Bit sweet and if truth be told not as good as I was hoping. Soft in the mouth with some juiciness from the pears. Ok A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.2

Bottle at Fin & Loz’s tasting with Jan, Charlotte, Craig, Stella & kids consumed 21.10.11 I picked this up from Olivers, Ocle Pychard, Herefordshire summer 2011 This seems to have softened just a little too much by the rum cask ageing. Its almost copper in colour with a gentle carbonation and good clarity. The apples are juicy and it is fruity with a nice gentle tang but its lost some of its edge by being aged this way in my opinion. Another decent cider from Tom Oliver but not one of his best this time. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
