75cl bottle (2018) from Scrattings. Shared with Soph on a wet, windy Autumn lockdown Saturday night. Clear gold, spritzy bubbles. Aroma brings a soft green apple sweetness. Taste bears an extremely fine spritzy carbonation, dry, the wild-foraged pears seem to bring welcome delicate oily perry fruit shades that complement the apple blend. The fruitiness blossoms somewhat with additional mild gooseberry and white grape notes. Pleasant overall with a light, breezy character, mild acidity.

Bottle from the cider club. Low-ball glass @ home. Clear, dark amber, glossy with a quick-hitting fizz. Smell is boozy, macerated, peppery, burnt sugar nose. Taste is tannic, watery, zingy acidy, bitter fruit rind, slight oxidation, arugula. Good bubbles, very dry, but with a slight resin on the end if that makes sense. Pretty good. Quaffable.

Bottle delivered from the club. Low-ball glass @ home. Filtered, dark orange, pale whiskey color. Smells like honeysuckle, wood & candle smoke. Bottle description was very close. Taste is parched, tannic, rose, barrel-kissed apples, mixed in with tart, waxy, juicy, eating apples. Finishes with a lingering zing. A poor man's Albee Hill if you were to compare it to something else they make. Still, thin, runny, good acidity. This is okay, but seems like a mishaped blend.

Bottle from Eve's direct. Wine glass @ home. Typical clear, golden, vibrant brew from Eve's. Natural yeast is great, but I'm glad they filter it out at the end. Smell is sharp apples with a mellowing touch of butter & faded spice in the background. Boldly acidic upfront. Heavy on the lemon juice, lots of skin, popsicle sticks, bitter green salad mix, lingering salt on your lips as it wraps up. Thin, ever so slightly slick texture, obviously bone dry, strong & sizzling carbonation. Really good single batch.

750ml bottle from Scrattings. 2019 Vintage. My #2000 apple cider rating. Sparkling golden colour, short-lived large white foamy head and aroma of tangy apple, citric, mellow funk, earthy. Taste is zingy sourish fleshy apple, then some vanilla, wood barrel, formic, and tangerine citric notes plus lactic salty hints, with lingering acidity and soft tannin. Slick mouthfeel, medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry zesty citric sour finish. Interesting, very drinkable.

July 2021: Old rate mostly still reflective. Slight lapse in brightness & the middle might be starting to fall out. 4.0 May 2020: Bottle direct from the web shop. Tulip @ home. Clear, filtered, dark gold & still. Smells of sharp apples, maceration, light vanilla & a very faint sourness. Sharp & very tannic. Lingering bitterness, gum, cherry pith, lemon. Really bold, tacky feel, boozy(no abv listed), bite-y, good sipper. Very good.
