500ml bottle from Corks, Bristol (batch 2009/06). Slightly hazy, deep gold in colour with no carbonation. Aroma of fresh apple juice with a touch of sweetness and some barnyard funk in the background. Flavour has the same fruitiness, with the honey slightly evident too. The finish inclined toward dryness with a touch of whisky warmth, no doubt from the cask. Despite the lower ABV, this had all the character of a farmhouse cider. A good effort from a new producer.
