Drink-in at Caps and Taps, Tufnell Park. Slightly cloudy orange -gold body, no head, scattered lacing. Modest smell of farmyard and apple skins. Flavoured with mid-sweet apples, raspberries, and lightly spiced. Mid-sweet finish. Fair enough. (London, 05.12.2023).

750 from the Press online cider club. Rare Vos glass @home. Slight dribble of a bottle bomb. Frothy, fizzy, hazy, honey-lemon tea pour. Earthy, honey, mellow old sock funk, soggy-sweet maceration, oily floral, slightly stuffy. Taste is browned & sweet apples, sweet lemon, chewy skin, wax, grape tannins, sulfite-y, hard water, mucho yeast. Earthier than I expected. On the sweeter side of keeving. Chewy, moderately astringent, good carb, sticky bubbles. Good but not Tom Oliver good.

75cl bottle. Don't know if this is 2021. To be honest, I'm a bit annoyed by all these years on cider entries as they all tend to be the same year by year. Quite a lovely one this, cork shot out 🍾 No info at all on the label, decent woody barrel with gently caramelised apple fruit and comforting smooth tannic fuzz on the palate. Decent

Panda at home, thanks to Ed Danlo, 23/11/23. Golden copper with an off white head that dissipates edgewards and retains well as it goes for a cider. Nose is ripe apples, hint of caramel, light wood, modest barnyard strokes, herb. Taste comprises apple pulp, light funk, vinous, light acidic tinge, hedgerow, farmyard, apple core, tannins. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, drying close. Solid well balanced cider ... Oliver's showing their class once again!
