500 ml bottle, from The British Corner Shop. ABV is 5.0%. Reddish amber colour, pours moderately sparkling with a shortlived off-white head. Possibly the darkest cider I've seen made only of apples. Aroma of bittersweet cider apples with some tannins, a hint of smoke (charred oak), . Medium dry flavour, still some residual sweetness, plenty of tannins, some bitterness, notes of oak and sulphites. Enjoyable.

500 ml bottle, batch #430, from The British Corner Shop. Brewed by Staffordshire Brewery for Cottage Delight. ABV is 5%. Crystal clear golden colour, large white head. Aroma of light malts and toffee, a hint of fruity hops. Semi-dry flavour, notes of pale malts with hints of toffee and a little fruit, fairly distinct earthy hops. Medium bitter. Maybe not very exciting, but decent enough.

Bottle shared at Cotteridge Convention 2017 - cheers all! Pours clear yellow with a creamy, white head. The nose holds pale grains, a little paper. Light sweet flavour, moderate chill burn, hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with further chili burn in the throat. Eh, so so.

50cl bottle from Longacres Garden Centre, Bagshot. A pale amber pour with a thin white head; I expected this to be identical to the "Lazy Cow" from the same source at the same time, but fortunately it's better than that. A medium body, sweet and grainy, with a grassy aroma, and a light grassy bitterness with a lingering caramel finish. Very drinkable.
