Cask-conditioned at the Lord Nelson, Topsham, Devon 26/07/09. Cloudy pale brown in colour. Sweetish apple aroma, marred by a whiff of ammonia. Flavour was similar, with some cheesy, stomach bile in the background. Not very nice.

A pretty terrible cider. Thin, almost grainy feel to it. I picked up some very light apples but that was coupled with a dry alcohol sensation. Needless to say I was unimpressed.
