500ml bottle from Holy GrAle, Durham. Bright deep red colour, pink foam head that quickly dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of blackcurrant cordial. Taste is initially sweet, with fruity apple, lots of blackcurrant, slight funky under-hint, and then some tartness and acidity. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, drying tart finish. Quite drinkable.

500ml bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Eye - clear deep purple, circular bubbly retention. Nose - musky farmyard apples, fruit sweet blackcurrants Taste - musky dry farm apples with a little tang, blackcurrant fruitiness which adds a nice sweetness. Moderate dry finish but the fresh fruitiness is what stands out here. Superb. Palate - light bodied and fresh but with a nice syrup smoothness, soft carbonation. Overall - a lovely fresh fruity non-artificial flavoured cider. A revelation.

500ml bottle via Scrattings. Shared with Soph. Misty gold appearance, fresh fragrant medium sweet apple fruit on the nose. Taste hooks into a solid medium sweet profile, good balanced apple fruit, hints of vanilla, fleeting caramelised brown sugar glimpses, light to moderate carbonation. Very enjoyable.
