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.

Bottle, 6.0%. Good citric flavour, slightly funky like good real cider. A bit too sweet, perhaps.

thanks, thewolf for sharing. aroma very ripe apples, leather. appears yellow with no head, flavor is nice , cider has some acidity to balance the very sweet apples, in a way well balanced, seem aged, but lacks some winy acidity to get real good.
