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.

Cask Conditioned at Wenlock Arms, London
Cloudy orange color, a bit scary. The aroma is fruity and sour, with a touch of hazelnuts. The mouthfeel is a bit astringent, with some apples flavor, light sourness, but at the end I have an unpleasant feeling of sweetener. Controversial.

Cask Conditioned at Wenlock Arms, London, as Draught Cider
Cloudy deep blond color. Sweetish cider, light apples in the aroma and more in the flavor, and with a late pleaant astringency, but unfortunately a light impression of saccharin too in the final.

Cloudy blond color. It has a sourish aroma of apples. Nice apples flavor, medium sweet, with a subtle sourness; the final is a bit weaker and it has a very light astringency; balanced and easy to drink.
