Bottle from Wisley. Aroma has 'dry' apple peel and underlying juice. A light haze to the very pale gold body. No head. Tart sour. Hints of sweetness. Vinous. Light. Thin but slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Dry finish, a tad astringent. Nice enough but with ciders I normally find there's not too much to say about them from my perspective.
