Ha, Jens has this English Somerset cider back in 2022 when I can see it was also added to Untappd. No more rates from RB/or here and only 44 ticks in total on UT, then find it in my local Danish supermarket. This must have low distro which is a shame as this was very nice. Medium sweet and lightly drying with nice crisp apple notes, light funky, only light carbonation, oak wooden accents, medium body, crisp and lingering apple fruity finish. Great supermarket find. Tasty and refreshing after a tough long week at work. Really enjoyed their AF cider as well a few weeks back, nice to get them over here.

Medium sweet apple fruity with a nice aroma and quite a nice funky edge, juicy apple, medium to light body with nice carbonation, apple and funky lingering finish. Nice AF cider, would get this again.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Cider#2. WOOL. In the small Dorset town of Wool with its humped stone bridge across the River Frome, first recorded in the 13th century, this cider enjoyed nearby is strong but isn't a problem here, but by the same measure its apple is light, although more stated in aftertaste. Has a mild tang but is more sweet.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Cider#1. WOOL. Found this in the local store after reaching the small village-style town of Wool in Dorset. A stated apple with a lot of tasty sweetness, lots of depth through its hidden-in-taste strength. Loads of apple aroma too. Good but not too much in one go!!!

On tap at Taphouse CPH, pours a clear bright golden, no head. Aroma has plenty of sugars, light mustiness, and a touch of funk. Flavour is lightly musty, with a touch of funk, gentle caramelized sugars, and crisp apple skins. Funky, musty, and yet lightly sugary.

On tap at Taphouse CPH. Pours clear pale gold. Juicy apples, tannic skins, gentle must on the nose. Flavour has plenty of sweet, juicy apples, very little tartness from the skins. Not a huge fan of the sweetness, but nicely done.
