Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a cloudy almost milky yellow with a small rough head. Peely appley aroma. Medium body, very low in carbonation, dry and astringent authentic apple notes yet with an underlying sweetness. The whisky accents are there but subdued. Again a late sourness. 110510

Bottled. An unclear light golden cider with a thin white head. The aroma has strong notes of sour apples, apple core, and a bit of wood. The flavor is sweet with notes of wood, sour apples, apple core, and a bit of whiskey, leading to a dry, tart, and woody finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

At the Southampton Arms, London 25/03/10. Hazy pale gold in colour. Aroma of sweetish apple juice and lemons. Flavour was dominated by lemon squash, similar to some perries, which was a bit one dimensional. Ok.

From the polypin at the Orchard, Bristol 25/10/09. I was conufused as the board at the pub referred to this as being from Somerset - however, the producer’s website mentions it presses Somerset aplles in Hertfordshire. This was an enjoyable cider. Having drunk dry ciders immediately before, it initially seemed very sweet. However, once my palate adjusted to it, this was a good golden cider, with plenty of apple juice and a honeyed edge.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 8 Aug 2009) Hazy, greenish yellow colour with no head. Fruity, tart nose with fresh apples and a touch of citrus. Fruity taste with dry, slightly tart notes of apples. Clean, fresh and well balanced with just a slight touch of sweetness. Nice.
