75cl bottle on a baking hot lockdown evening listening to 6 music. Vivid clear pink, thin ring of bubbles atop. Lovely blackcurrant aroma with some rich keeved fruit just peeking through. Taste is crisp, deeply fruity with plenty of blackcurrant berries, the mandarina seems to boost these flavours nicely while the mosaic adds a nice citrus air. Crisp, gently sour edge really brings it all to life. Really excellent cider, thoughtfully conceived.

750ml wired cork bottle from Pilton. Opened with a small pop. Bright clear red colour, pinkish-white foam head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of citrusy resinous hop. Taste is sweet, mandarin citrus, hoppy, with barrel notes, formic hint, then tart fruity blackberry and apple. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry tart & tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.
