Sample, thanks to Grumbo. Misty orange pour. Good, fine carbonation, not hugely fruity or sweet but possesses a pleasant natural feel, quite dry with a gentle tang seeing you off. Nice.

2/3/2022. Bottle from the cidery's stall at Bury St Edmunds Christmas Fayre. Pours clear dark gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of moderately sweet apples, light wood, sugary stewed apple, slight funky edge. Medium sweetness, light tartness. Moderate body, light carbonation. Drying finish with a little of the whisky barrel coming through. Subtle, quite liked it.
