Bag in a box from Middle Farm Cider Barn, near Lewes. Lightly hazed yellowy-orange. Flat, with a mild stewed apple sweetness. This just feels a bit dull. Easy drinking juice though.

12/12/2021. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours almost clear pale golden orange with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of bitter marmalade, citrus, spice, juniper, rum, light woody edge. Moderate sweetness, slight oily watery texture, average carbonation. Dry finish. Interesting concept and I like all the parts but didn't fully work.
