On tap at the Bree Louise. Pours a rich amber with few bubbles. Light, dank apple aroma with some funk. Lightly sweet flavor with some spices and more dankness. Medium bodied and pretty smooth with almost no carbonation. Obscenely dry finish, sweet, with cellar-like mustness. Good stuff this.

Southampton Arms handpull. Simple cider, very drinkable, bit of yeast on aroma and then some stewed apple fruit, some sweetness, but ultimately a fairly straightforward easy drinking cider that I knocked back from a pint. Then got up and wobbled a bit.

Bottle from Wyevale garden centre, Bicester, 29-05-09 Pours a reddy gold, almost rust like colour with a medium carbonation. Aroma is woody and soft apple pulp, touch of overipe apples. Taste is initially quite sweet but good depth of flavour, really dessert appley, reminds me of Cox’s. This is soft in the mouth but quite tannic with gums really getting the once over. I enjoyed this, there is no denying this is on the sweet side of medium but nonethess it was very enjoyable. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6

750ml bottle from Waitrose, Bristol. Pale gold in colour with moderate sparkle. Dryish, barnyard aroma with some tart apple fruit. An easy drinking cider, with plenty of apple juice flavour, alongside some tartness with gave way to some sugar in the finish. Ok.

750ml bottle from Corks, Bristol. Pale gold in colour with a touch of sparkle. Juicy, dry apple aroma with a hint of yeast and sulphur. Easy drinking, with clean, dryish apple fruit, and a decent dry finish. A bit clinical and probably came off worse due to being sampled straight after Ermie and Gertie’s more characterful farmhouse cider.
