Bottle from the brewer's own stall at the Birmingham NEC Good Food Show. Gold with a slight haze and a too-aggressive fizz. Sour from the off - under-ripe apples, white wine vinegar and (oddly) lime. There's some sweetness in there, as well as a slight dry floral note in the finish, but it didn't seem to come together for me. A disappointment compared to the other two ciders we tried from this producer.

Bottle from the brewer's own stall at the Birmingham NEC Good Food Show. Another interesting brew from these guys. It's a murky deep yellow colour with no fizz. It's quite fruity up front, with melon and green grapes leading into bright fresh apple, leading into a drier, woody finish. Nice!

Bottle from the brewer's own stall at the Birmingham NEC Good Food Show. Murky gingery orange colour, no fizz. Dusty leather, apple skins, dryish, a touch of wood. I always find it more difficult to nail down the flavours on ciders than beers, but this was an interesting one; I enjoyed it.

750ml bottle from Wild West. Hazed orangey gold colour, white foam head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of mucky funk, apple, juicy fruit. Taste is sweet, appley, fruity, farmhouse funky, with orchard floor, muck hint, leathery notes, and bittersweet tannins. Medium bodied, light carbonation, dry tangy tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.
