Bottled. A golden cider with a rim of white head. The aroma has strong notes of apples - no surprise. The flavor is sweet and dominated by apples, leading to a dry and slightly tart finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

Bottle. This tasted like a medium cider sweetened with dessert pears. The cider on its own would probably have tasted better. Certainly not much of a perry.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Deep gold in colour with moderate carbonation. decent, dry aroma with plenty of apple fruit. Flavour of tart apples with some earthiness, but marred by some caramel sweetness lurking in the background. Ok.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Pale gold with slight carbonation. Sweet, stewed apple aroma. Flavour of apple syrup with a touch of dryness in the finish. Too sweet for me.
