Bottle from the Real Food Store, Exeter. Slightly hazy gold with a bit of carbonation. As others have found, this was a contrasting cider. The aroma was rough, with tart apples, cheese and a solid bit of wood. The flavour was sweet, with baked apples, a hint of honey and some spice. The finish was in the sweet side too. Different, and pretty good for it.

Cask at The Hamilton Hall, JDW, Liverpool Street Station. Pours a completely opaque, light gold. Aroma is sweet, faintly dank apples. Light to medium sweet flavor, ripe apples, some sugar. Medium bodied with little carbonation. Quite dry on the finish, slightly warming, a little musty and dank, not overly sweet. A passable cider, just seems a little rough around the edges.

Bottle from the Real Food Store, Exeter. Cloudy amber with slight carbonation. Dry apple aroma with a hint of cheese and vinegar. Refreshing yet tart, with some pleasant juice, a slight hint of sweetness and then a mouth puckering dry finish. Not quite the driest, but getting close. Very good.

Bottle from the Real Food Store, Exeter. Pours deep gold in colour with moderate fizz. Lightish, apple juice aroma with a touch of fartiness in the background. Very easy drinking, with plenty of juicy apple fruit, followed by a savoury, dryish finish. Very drinkable.
