From the barrel at GBBF, August 2005. Hazy orange colour. Spirituous, petrolly aroma. Quite tannic, so comes over dryer than it actually is. No fruit to speak of. Odd, and slightly hard going. But I rather like difficult ciders.

From the barrel - GBBF 2005. A slightly hazy orange coloured cider. The aroma is really juicy apples and pears. It is in the taste that the brandy flavours come through. It is quite intruiging but very dry with too much brandy alcohol tastes. After a while the taste actually made me wince.

Alcohol, solvents, bitter appleskins, lactic aroma. Hazy yellow gold. Very still. Boozy, solvent-like flavour compounded by lactic yogurt-like fruitiness. Medium body is sticky and coats the teeth. Barrel at GBBF 2005.
