Bag in a box from Middle Farm Cider Barn, near Lewes. A still, clear, golden cider. Fresh juicy apples, farmyard funk, old wooden wardrobes, apple skins, a touch of earth, lightly dry and with a hint of tart acidity. Very complex, very well balanced, and with a long-lasting aftertaste which was so nice that I didn't want to eat anything for a while afterwards for fear of losing that taste! An excellent cider, one of the best I've had.

75cl bottle, thanks to Danlo for this bottle. Pours a misty pale greenish yellow. Aroma is very light perry pear fruit, some wild notes. Taste is medium perry fruit, a touch drying, no astringency, subtle tannin, overall a clean well-rounded perry pear fruit character with a gentle sparkle.
