Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Sparkling, golden colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of earthy apple, funky. Taste is tart and tangy apple, some barnyard funk, sourish, solventy hints, biscuit and citric notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry finish. Quite drinkable.

25/5/2020. Bottle from Darts Farm, Nr Topsham, Devon. Pours slightly hazy, needed a careful pour to keep what was quite a bit of sediment in the bottle. Aroma of moderately tart apples, tannins, light sulphur, yeast, citrus and slight funky notes. Moderate sweetness, a nice tangy tartness and a little salt on the lips. Moderate body, bottle says still but there was actually a fault high level of carbonation which seemed to suit it well. Really enjoyed this.

500ml bottle thanks to purpledragons for sharing this. Hazed yellow, small white bubbly ring atop. Aroma is lightly sour aroma, fleshy apple fruit. Good fleshy apple fruit character, woody dusty finish, gripping tannic bite. Exceptional.

On cask at Cove, Outer Cove. Appearance - deep amber with no head and no bubbles. Real cider indeed. Nose - applewood, dried apple to follow. Taste - dry woody, apple core. Palate - medium bodied with a big tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - complex, loads of layers going on. Real cider confirmed.
