Tap. Clear pale yellow color with no head. Aroma is sweetish apples, some funk. Taste is apple sauce, apple candy, but not in an artificial way, quite funky, apple peel, dry finish. Mineraly, slightly mealy mouthfeel, lightly existing carbonation. Very curious and interesting, it has some flavours I've never seen before in a cider.

330 ml bottle, at The Beehive (JDW landside, South terminal, Gatwick). ABV is 4.5%. Deep golden colour. Strange aroma of dishwater and well used socks - and apples. Light bodied, slightly dry. Flavour of apples, but fairly thin. Not a cider I'd bother to buy again.
