5.8% Handpull at Williams Ale and Cider Liverpool Street. Wow. Never expected to get this today. What a treat. Hazy old gold colour thin white head. Excellent real cider apple and fruit aroma. Good apple juice aroma. Dry in the finish. More apple juice some red apple skin flavour. Nicely balanced. Loved it.

On tap at the London Cider House. Pours a near clear gold with a slight orange hue and a thin white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has dank and earthy apple with a slight bit of hay coming through. Flavor starts with sweet apple but grows in dryness and earthiness through the finish.

Bottle at a DC beer share. Very tasty. Weird color for a cider, sort of an apricot/orange color, murky. Nose is sweet apples but earthy and funky too. Some scrumpy. Natural wine. A little butter. Flavor follows. Sweet and funky, pie notes with a little earthy stuff. Persimmon. Medium bodied and just off dry.

Bottle from the Courtyard Dairy as part of their virtual cheese and cider (or in this instance, perry!) tasting. Pale yellow with a light fizz. Vinegary up front, then lots of leather, tannins and a big kick of spice. Some baked apple sweetness in the middle before Conference pear skin and a drying finish. Very complex and interesting; in a blind taste I'd have guessed it was a cider than a perry though. It's undoubtedly a high quality brew, but I personally didn't enjoy it quite as much as I hoped I might. It was still pretty good though.

On tap at London Cider House. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has earthy and slightly dry apple with a hint of skin coming through. Flavor has a nice combination of dry and sweet apple with just a touch of tartness.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep orange with gentle bubbles. Nose - overripe and bruised apples. Taste - sweet apples and some bitter apple skin to balance it. Palate - juicy and bittersweet with good persistence. Overall - very tasty!

500ml bottle from press. Week or so settle time in the fridge. L4995 on the cap, L1506 on the label, 5%. Shelton Bros insignia on the back, but they've been dead for some time, so... Goblet @home. Thin froth atop a medium gold, mostly clear pour(aside from many flat, yeasty chunks that look very much like fish food). Lots of pear skin on the nose. Oily, sweet corn, elderflower fruitiness, sweet baked bread, simple syrup, Old Mott's apple juice. Drinks really well; big gulps. Snappy pedestrian tartness, moderately rough pear skin astringency, slight grape, touch of veg, subtle Aspirin/minerally bitterness, soda slickness & sweetness. Lingering veg. Middling carbonation with a weak popsicle finish. I could do with this being higher abv, but it hits most of the notes. Nice intro into better slosh.
