Bottle shared at RBESG 2014 Grand Tasting. Hazy yellow color, small off-white head. Small and taste apple, apple juice, a touch of lemonade, very dry. Not a real good one imo.

Bottle shared during the RBESG 2014 London Grand Tasting - Moncada Brewery. Pours mostly clear gold with a faint creamy white head. Nice cider with notes of tangy apple, light apple sauce sweetness, some mild dry mustiness. Light bodied with average, spritzy carbonation. Clean and lightly drying on the finish with pleasing tart green apple. Nice.

Bottle at RBESG 2014 Grand Tasting. It pours hazy gold with a decent white head. The nose is sweet apple, pear, fruits sugars, light earthy barnyard and Appletizer. The taste is crisp, red apple, pear, candy, drying mouth-feel, apple pie and toasty sugars. Medium body, high carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Solid.

Bottle - Sweet apple. Cloudy with a decent white head. Effervescent apple with some light tannin and a dry finish. Easy drinking.

From a bag in a box at the Volunteer, Bristol 30/3/2013. Golden in colour with slight carbonation. Lovely aroma of fresh apple, mango and pineapple with a touch of wood. Flavour had plenty more fruit, sweet to start, before a lingering tart finish. The best cider I have had in a while.
