33dcl bottle from The Beer Tree. Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of peach, light peppery, grain, floral malts. Flavour is sweet, malty, fruity, mainly peach, light grainy, light-bitter finish. Light bodied. Ok-ish. Nothing off but very boring.

Bottle from Cottier’s. Clear amber body with a medium off-white head. Low carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of grain and honey. Flavour of cardboard, orange and cereal. Medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. Not great - barely a trace of hops.

Sweet apple with a light tart aroma. Medium to thin body with loads of carbonation. Flavor is sweet apples in the beginning, a very brief tart note, and then a sugary sweet apple finish. Active carbonation all the way through. Easy to drink a couple of these but then they get too sweet for me. Nice cider, though.

Pours a very pale golden color, topped with average white head that settles down quickly. Malty aroma, some sweet fruits and spices. The taste is sweet, slight soury feel, no real bitterness. Not the best one, really.

(bottle, 33cl) Clear, ruby brown colour with a beige and short foamy head. Dark malty, slightly roasty aroma with notes of caramel, also hints of chocolate and anise. Moderately sweet and slightly roasty bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation. Earthy dark malt character with roasty notes, caramel and a tinge of chocolate and a very subtle dried fruity touch; sweet and mildly roasty bitter finish with lasting notes of caramel and a whiff of chocolate. Likeable as it is not too fat and not too sweet. 02.VI.14
