Bottle from the Bristol Wine Company. Pale yellow with no head but plenty of fizz. Light, dry apple aroma with some yeasty skin. Flavour was sweetish, with some acidity in the background, and a gentle, bitter sweet finish. Drinkable, if with a slightly muted character.

On tap at the Orchard, Bristol 08/05/09. Golden cider with no head and slight carbonation. For a clear cider this had some dry character up front, with a touch of sweetness in the finish. Available at the Orchard in place of the dumbed down, sweetened Blackthorn.

Bottle from Bristol Wine Company. Deep gold with moderate carbonation. Dryish aroma with a touch of apple fruit. Flavour had some sweet juice and a touch of toffee, before some tannins in the finish. Ok.

Bottle from the Bristol Wine Company. Pale gold with moderate carbonation. Description below as ’soft’ is apt. This had some some gentle sweetness up front, before a bitter edge of apple peel and hint of spice in the muted finish. Different and none the worse for it.

750ml bottle from Sainsburys. Clear gold in colour with plenty of carbonation. Aroma of apple blossom and toffee. Flavour began with some dryness before a sweet apple finish. Easy drinking but a bit lacking in character.
