First rake of '22 ... bottle at home, from the local Co-Op in the 'mere, 01/01/22. Clear golden to light copper with a fast collapsing head of white bubbles. Nose is s weet apple, caramel, sugar dusting, light orchard wood. Taste comprises apple peel, sugars, tannins, straw, apple pie. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, some dryness in the close. Decent enough cider if no wow factor involved ... perhaps a touch on the sweet side for my liking.

Clear dark yellow colour with no head. It's a fairly sweet flavour. Low on tannin and low on acidity. Very soft and floral. Ok but misses some depth.
