Bottle from Brewer’s Droop, Bristol. Pale gold with moderate carbonation. Aroma of fresh apple juice with some barnyard aromas of cheese and yeast and a hint of wood. Flavour had some medium sweet juice, oak and a decently dry finish. A good bottled cider.

Bottle. Golden cider with a light head. The aroma is quite dry and vinous and the flavour is vinous, warming and quite bitter. Overall a very nice cider.

750ml bottle from Brewer’s Droop, Bristol. Pale gold with plenty of carbonation. Tart, slightly yeast apple fruit aroma. Flavour began sweet, with a touch of oak before a dryish finish. Uncomplicated, easy drinking.

Bottle from Brewer’s Droop, Bristol. Plae gold in colour with plenty of fizz. Sweet apple juice aroma, verging on the industrial. Flavour was similarly one dimensional, with some apple juice and a hint of tannin in the finish. The worst Sheppys ciders by a long way.

Bottle from Sainsbury, Kidlington, 02-07-09 Pours lemony gold with fast disappearing white head. Oak is present on nose. Good tangy cider, the apples have been softened out by the oak aging. Very, dry at the end with tannins settling around the gums. Easy drinking despite the abv, nicely tangy, not too sharp, good apple and oaky combination. I really liked this and was a touch dismayed to see that it hadn’t scored higher than it has. A7 A4 F8 P4 Ov15 3.8

From the barrel at the Apple, Bristol 19/06/09. Deep gold with next to no carbonation. At the sweet end of the spectrum, with some decent fruit and a hint of tartness in the finish. Ok.
