375ml bottle. Clear golden orange pour. Fairly straightforward flavour profile, not a great amount of depth some moderate clean apple fruit with a light crisp bitterness and mild apple skin. Nicely rounded, but expected more, especially with such an elaborate engraved bottle!

Keg at Breakers Bar, Brean. Pours bright orange gold with high carbonation. Aroma is chemically apples. Taste is pretty crap, some rotten apples and chemicals. Served absolutely freezing to somehow mask the shitness.

Draught @ Soho Aroma has overripe apples and apple peel. Feels musty. Flavour has ripe apples, some floury notes, sugary tones. Aroma was a bit offensive but flavour is good. Perhaps too sweet to drink in quantities though.

330ml bottle from Wise Bartender. Sparkling, golden colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of sweet apple flavour, citric. Taste is sweet, apple note, some sugar, slight tart, not much there. Thin watery mouthfeel, spritzy carbonation, short finish. Quite bland and watery.

Bottle sample courtesy of Theydon_Bois, cheers Colin! Bright orangey gold colour, white foam head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of fruity apple, pulpy. Taste is sweetish, tangy, apple, fleshy, caramel hint, with some woody notes and drying tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, medium dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.

Bottle at home, from Elston & Son online, 25/09/22. Golden copper with a decent white cap, as it goes for a cider, that eventually fades away to the edge. Nose is waxed apples, caramel, apple core, light orchard wood, straw. Taste comprises bitter sweet apple, caramel, tannins, sugars, tarte edge. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Ok if unspectacular.

Keg at Victoria Bar. It pours clear rich pissy golden with pretty much zero head. The aroma is sweet, tangy, apple cordial, apple tango, sugary and some apple crumble. The taste is sweet - sour, juicy, crisp, snappy, crunchy, apple skin, minerality, chalkiness, light tannin, sugary boozy kick, juice from concentrate and pucker with a dry finish. Average body and fine, prickly lively carbonation. Tastes just like juice from concentrate. Fair.
