Bottle thanks to Andy.
Appearance - golden and clear with gentle carbonation. It actually has something of a head that sits about for a bit.
Nose - wood, dry apple skin with apple tart beneath.
Taste - more juicy apple this time, with proper apple tart ripeness. Some wood and hay lurking.
Palate - full bodied, big tangy middle and great acidity on the finish which refreshes and makes salivate for the next drink.
Overall - proper cider!

Bottle sample courtesy of Cheeseboard, cheers Simon! Golden colour, white foam head that dissipates away and aroma of pear, fruit, gooseberry. Taste is sweet, peary, fruity, gooseberry, white wine notes, with mellow citrus and alittle tannin. Medium bodied, light carbonation, medium peary finish. Quite drinkable

750ml bottle from Darts Farm. Pours clear pale yellow gold with quickly dissipating opaque bubbles. Sweet honeyed pears. Lots of residual sweetness. Quite rich. Floral. Reminiscent of a sweet white wine. Very clean, low acidity, there's a modicum of drying tannins on the finish. It's not hugely complex but nevertheless I enjoyed it.

No mention of Wilde any longer. Rose gold with a few bubbles. Subtle fruity aroma, fresh and fruity, some cherry action on top of medium sweet apples, has a touch of tartness pulling through

75cl bottle from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - very pale yellow with less carbonation than expected.
Nose - juicy pears (very Prosecco really) and fresh apples of course.
Taste - juice fruit, mainly orchard but also sweet lemon curd.
Palate - light to medium bodied, sweet middle and gentle dryness on the finish.
Overall - a pleasant change.

Can from quickiemart near Exter St Davids station. Sunk a few of these with a lovely view of the Devon and Cornish coast. Did the job - not hugely profound but quite dry (almost too dry).

Wetherspoon Summer Cider Festival 2025 #2. Second of three morning ciders to start a free day out in Carlisle courtesy of Northern Rail, so cheers to them with this light in aroma but sweet in taste cherry effort. Mildly sticky texture. Fair.
