Bladder Bag at GBBF '22 day 4, 05/08/22. Moderately hazed golden yellow with a modest off white cap. Nose is mellow apple, sweetish elderflower syrup, straw. Taste comprises apple pulp, modest elderflower, grass, tannins, light wood. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Ok flavoured cider but not as good as many elderflower contemporaries for me.

Bladder Bag at GBBF '22 day 4, 05/08/22. Lightly hazed golden yellow with a thin just off white cap. Nose is apple skin, straw, hedgerow, not much in the way of ginger. Taste comprises bitter sweet apples, light orchard wood, ginger more evident. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light drying close. Passable as flavoured ciders go ... in fact not that bad ... at least not a silly sweet offering.= but nothing I'd revisit.

Bladder Bag at GBBF '22 day 4, 05/08/22. Lightly hazed golden yellow with a modest off white head. Nose is sweet edged apples, straw, herb, light spice. Taste comprises bitter sweet apple pulp, light orchard wood, modest chilli kick, light tannins. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light drying close. Not terrible at all ... chilli is well balanced ... evident but not OTT.
