Keg from the Fierce & Noble bar at the Chippenham Folk Festival. Deep gold. Sweetish apple juice with just a hint of apple skins and a very light funkiness. It's like one of those mass market craft ciders designed to offend as few people as possible at the expense of any real character. Sure enough, I'm not offended. It's easy drinking, fairly refreshing and pleasant enough. It's fine.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from Pip Stop online. Pours crystal clear yellow-gold with a small, fizzy white head. Fairly sweet but not cloying, with some nice rounded apple juice character, minimal hop presence, hints of bitter peel, pear maybe. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Reasonably clean finish, more sweet apple, juicy vibes. Highly drinkable stuff for sure, if maybe a little simple.

500ml bottle from Tipplers, Bewdley. Flat. Pours a clear copper, aroma of lightly caramelised apple fruit. Taste is indeed exceptionally dry, light acidic prickle with very gentle tannin presence. Its a bit dull, probably due to its age (5 months past its best before) so fresh would reveal additional fruity flavour. Ok
