Lovely deep golden in colour, looks good. Quite appley on the nose. The palate has a good fruit/acid balance and although it’s quite full bodied, it’s also clean and refreshing. Good quality cider, Morrisons.

Jul 3, 2009 Bottle from Sainsbury, Kidlington, 02-07-09 Pours lemony gold with fast disappearing white head. Oak is present on nose. Good tangy cider, the apples have been softened out by the oak aging. Very, dry at the end with tannins settling around the gums. Easy drinking despite the abv, nicely tangy, not too sharp, good apple and oaky combination. I really liked this and was a touch dismayed to see that it hadn’t scored higher than it has.

Jan 13, 2009 75cl bottle, 2006 vintage, still version. Funky with a pronounced aroma and smell of stable. Gueze-like, but with less
acid, which makes for a sweeter and heavier drink. Would be better carbonated.

Dec 22, 2008 Updated: Jun 23, 2009Bottle from Sainsburys. Deep gold with little carbonation. Aroma of tart apples with some yeast. Flavour had plenty of apple juice, but lacked the character of the other ciders sampled from this producer, ending with a run of the mill dryness. Given the ABV, this lacked character.
