Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Pale golden colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of apple, citric hint. Taste is slightly tart, apple, some skin and core, with alittle acidity. Light bodied, light carbonation, medium-dry finish. Quite OK.

On 23rd Jan 2020 I decided to change all my 34 'ticks' for no-beers into rates. Every 'tick' scored a '3', this will not change as they become 'rates'. My 'ticks' were Ciders, Meads, Perrys and Sake. This is a cider!

Sampled @ GBBF day 1. Hazy pale golden color, no head. Smell and taste apples, moderately sweet with a slight dry touch. Actually quite well balanced imo. I like it.
