Bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pale yellow clear pour. Aroma of pear skins, caramelised sugars and custard with vanilla. Taste is sweet and syrupy with a fruity pear and skins dominating over apple notes. Reasonable fruitiness but too sweet and not balanced.

Bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Mine coming in at 6.8%. Pours a pale clear gold with some light brief foam on top. No big aromas but picking up pear cores and skins, brown sugars, some alcohol. Taste has a very nice pear fruitiness, quite tangy although then gives way to a fruity sugar syrup finish. Body is slightly syrupy but still maintains a nice smoothness and refreshing quality. A bit mixed but I enjoyed it, quite tasty.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear gold pour with a brief fizzy white bubbly head. Aroma has a fruity apple juice with a slightly aged note to it. Taste is mellow sweet apple juice, apple core, fruity note, with a quick drying close to the extent that little flavour lingers. Light bodied and moderate carbonation, light dryness on the palate. Pleasant cider but a bit too mellow. Its not going to be memorable.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a murky orange-gold, brief loose bubbles on top. Aroma of ripe sweet apple juice and peel Taste is a little vague, its sweet with some stewed apple juice, caramel and brown sugars. Pleasant and mellow though. Medium bodied, still, semi-smooth. OK.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pours a clear dark gold, brief bubbles. Aroma of musty apples and brown sugars, fine but lacks a certain freshness. Taste is dank apple juice, light brown sugar and some tartness. Nothing special but there is a nice crisp semi-dry finish. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, slight syrupy cloyingness. Average cider.

Bottle from Beers of Europe @ 8.4%, certainly a strong one! Murky orange-gold, still, no head. Aroma of leather, sweet apple juice, apple skins. Taste is sweet light-musky apple juice, wood, some sourness, medium dry finish with alcohol warmth on the way down. Slick body, goes down nicely. Quite fruity and warming although lacks some depth. I was half tempted to warm it up as it has a good base for a mulled cider, just need to add your own spices!
