500ml bottle from Micro Beer Crate, online. Pours a cloudy red-amber with some bubbles on top. Aroma is sweet, fruity dessert apples, some damson but quite subtle. Taste is bittersweet but fruity apples, damson, light funk, acidic in the finish. Quite dry, smooth, slightly oily, moderate carbonation. Enjoyable.

500ml bottle from Micro Beer Crate, online. Light cloudy gold, quite a lot of white bubbly retention on top for a cider. Aroma has a bittersweet but fruity dessert apple and barnyard funk aroma. Taste is sweet apples, barnyard, slight tartness, a light bitter and dry note in the finish. More mellow that the aroma suggests but its enjoyable and fruity. A very consistent cidery.

500ml can from Micro Beer Crate, online. Clear deep gold cider, a few bubbles on top. Aroma has a dessert apple, brown sugar, tonne of orchard funk. Taste is semi-sweet, slightly tangy dessert apple, wood, funk, hint of caramel. Light to medium bodied, semi-dry, semi-sparkling. A lot of semi's but its a good all rounder of a cider which I guess is what it is trying to be.

On tap at Hops, Crewe (presumably BIB / gravity but poured out of my sight). Pours golden amber with virtually no head. There’s a really strong aroma of freshly cut apple peel. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy but with occasional sharpness. Flavour is mushy apple sauce with some hints of cloves and flowers. There’s still a slight sweetness in the finish, but it then becomes increasingly dry. I was going to say this was too sweet for me – but the finish changed my mind ! Decent.
