Draught @ Schilling Portland. Apple juice nose, fresh fruit, nice, basic, just a touch of complexity.

75ml bottle @ Stable Cider Awards 2018 tasting, Birmingham. Pours a misty gold. Unexpected aroma of brandy butter, and medium sweet apple fruit. Taste presents more brandy butter, vanilla, vibrantly pronounced fleshy apple fruit with a gentle sweetness. Really quite a remarkable, enticing blend and an excellent example of whats possible with keeved cider.

Bottle thanks to Dirty Dan. It pours clear dark amber - brown with no head. The aroma is soft, sweet, oily, juicy, heavy stewed apple, candied fruit pie, honey and loads of apple juice. The taste is slick, oily, sugary, heavy apple sweetness, strudel, tannin, leather, honey and some alcohol boost through the finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Really good fun. Heavy and sweet, but fun.

Bottle shared in a Bristol hotel room. Many thanks to Dan stag. Pours clear copper-caramel. Great aroma, tons of ripe and dank apples, caramel. Big sweet flavour, tons of ripe and gooey apples, some toffee, toasted sugar, apple sauce. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, sticky and gooey, loads more ripe and gooey apples. Great fun. Dense.
