3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours similar to the red in that it looks like cava. Aroma is fresh and slightly peppery, dry underripe cooking apples, a bit of lemon and some sort of earyness. Taste is similarly really harshy carbonated in a good way, some nutmeg, the applesseem top have lost somethin in the taste but still a very very good cider.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
750ml bottle (bottle fermented) at the RB London gathering, November 2005. A classy little number. And so it should be 7 quid a bottle (which seems to be the going rate for bottle fermented ciders). light fruity aroma with biscuity edges. Reminiscent of a Spanish cava. Reasonably dry, with some light acidity and undoubtedly refreshing. Rather delicate and refined. And that’s the problem really. A lot of the appeal of ciders for me is their rough, farmyard character. And all that is deliberately left out of this one. Quite well done but I think I’d prefer a gallon of Roger Wilkins’ scrumpy straight from his cobwebby barrel for the same price.
