750ml wired cork bottle from the Cider Vault at Fram Ferment. Opened with a pop. Orangey amber gold colour, foamy off-white head that dissipates away and aroma of apple, ripe fruits, caramel hint. Taste is sweetish, apple, fruity, tangy, with some caramel hints, funk and drying spicy tannins. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.

500ml bottle shared with Soph by the river. Clear golden orange appearance. Definitely gives dry first impressions with a marginally rough barky woody side, nice natural juice with soft tannins rounding things off. Very nice.

500ml bottle shared with Soph. Clear gold appearance. Thin bodied, watery, extremely oaky tannins, whisky barrel aftertaste.. very far from a demi-sec, not keeved. Bit weird this one, lacking a good fruitiness unfortunately.
