19/2/2019. Bottle from New Forest Ciders, Borough Market. Pours clear dark gold with no head. Aroma of semi-sweet apples and light caramel. Taste is very sweet, caramelised and sugary. Moderate body, oily texture, flat carbonation. Finishes sweet. Described as a 'sweet caramel cider' and it certainly did what it said on the bottle but for me much too sweet to taste, though aroma was ok.

500ml bottle from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham. Pours a deep, hazy, reddish amber no head remaining. Aroma is fruity, sweet boozy. No carbonation. Taste is medium sweet, some gin-like botanics, herbal, dusty apple fruit. Fine for a flat farmhouse, curiously herbal cider.
