draught at Brimblecombe Farm. Hazy deep golden colour. As the non-vintage version an unusual combination of sweet and sour apple flavours. Not sure the sweetness suits the character.

Sampled @ GBBF day 2. Hazy yellow color, no head. Smell and taste sourish, apple peel, apples, quite dry. Enjoyable cider, but nothing exceptional.

From the polypin at the Orchard, Bristol 25/10/09. Cloudy gold in colour with next to no head. Dryin aroma and flavour, yet avoidiing acidity, with some balancing juicy apple fruit. Good stuff.
