Bottle from Morrisons Supermarket, Skipton. Golden with a light carbonation. Has some sweetness to its light apple, but does not linger in its aftertaste, where it gets somewhat dry. Has a fair aroma.

660ml bottle from National Brewery Centre, Burton on Trent. Pours a lightly misty golden yellow. Fruity Tremletts on the nose. Taste presents a sharp woody astringency coursing throughout with noticeably fruity elements coming into play, soft tannins emerging, gentle carbonation. Good SV showcase.

On 23rd Jan 2020 I decided to change all my 34 'ticks' for no-beers into rates. Every 'tick' scored a '3', this will not change as they become 'rates'. My 'ticks' were Ciders, Meads, Perrys and Sake. This is a cider!

2017 Bottle from National Brewery Centre, Burton on Trent. Golden appearance. Fresh and fruity nose. Taste is rich, pure Yarlington Mill with a nice natural tannic fuzz. Whole leaves from a Sweet Alford tree were added before fermentation with the aim of maximising flavour. There's certainly a lot here, an excellent SV showcase, but it's hard to tell the real difference without lining up another next to it.

22/5/2019. From Bag in a Box at The Dove Street Inn Spring Festival, Ipswich. Pours cloudy pale yellow gold with minimal white bubbles. Aroma of semi tart apples, farmyard, light sulphur and tannins. Light to moderate sweetness, and light tartness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft to flat carbonation. Dry slightly tart finish with a bit of washing up water. Not one of the better ones at the festival.
