Cask@Southampton Arms, London. Slightly hazy pale yellow colour with no head. Aroma is apples, some dry wood, mild spices as well as some slight vanilla as well. Flavour is very similar, but much more dry than the aroma would let you expect. Refreshing cider after the "beer straight" at SA.

Bottle. A clear one, golden in color. The aroma is mostly on the apple side, lacking, fortunately, on the vinegar and acetone. Lightly acidic flavor, with apples doing most of the work. Some spiced hints and a touch of damp fields. Medium body, soft on the palate. Apples in the finish. A quite clean and pleasant cider. 111126

5.4/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Bottle. A lightly hazy golden cider. Aceton and vinegar on the nose, with a pleasant apple aroma. Some funky hens dropping hints. The flavor too is a bit acetonic for my likings, but the apple flavor is nice. Tart, dry and thin on the palate. Nice in many ways, but a bit unpleasant too. Not a favorite of mine. 111126
