330mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals gentle wild yeast and crisp apple skins. Flavour is bone dry, with dry crisp apple skins, modest tartness, and a little champagne character. It's not particularly complex or cohesive, and the tartness is the best kind. But it's pleasant.

330mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Nose brings out crisp apple skins and some green apple juice. Flavour is drier than the nose suggests, with a gentle champagne-like effervescence, crisp apple skins, and a bit of cheap apple juice character on the finish. Quite crisp and dry, though there is a touch of residual sweetness. Not overly complex but it's pleasant and drinkable.

Tasting at Phill's, bottle
Dark red colour. Moderate fruit character, mild residual sweetness, there's no complexity, but it's drinkable.

Just a pale green-yellow colour. Lots of ginger on the nose, with a light apple note. Really tart green apple, thin, sourish like not good, and then there's a fair bit of ginger on the palate, and that's the saving grace I guess.

330mL bottle, pours a clear pale blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma is very floral, with lots of floral, spicy ginger, cinnamon, and apple pie. Flavour is quite dry and trashy, with lots of artificial-seeming spices. Dry and simple, with unpleasant spices. Poor.

Modest foam on a light straw body, strong earthy ginger on the nose. Flavour is all sorts of fresh ginger accented by sweet apple. Really well balanced, lingering sugariness. Highly enjoyable.

Good foam on a pale straw body, small carbonation bubbles. Nice apple aroma with citrus and a hint of vanilla. Good dry apple flavour with plenty of citrus, though hard to say if it's actually the grapefruit and lemon they advertise. Bone dry finish. Still a good cider.
