3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 Mungo (2472) - Southampton, - DEC 8, 2006
Bottle (from Waitrose). Fairly fruity nose, hints of spice with plenty of woodiness. Although labelled as medium sweet this ends quite dry due to the woody tannin despite the fruity sweetness at the front of the mouth. Not bad and pretty drinkable for a medium sweet cider. A touch over carbonated perhaps.

500ml brown bottle. Deep gold, hazy, no head. Sweet apple nose, some yeast and leathery spice notes. Taste has big fleshy apple fruit up front, sweetish dark sugars. Ends yeasty, spicy, tannic with apple tart skins, woody. Light apple fruit aftertaste, light but acceptable alcohol presence. Medium bodied, very refined tingly carbonation. Nice complexity, but very still quite approachable. Best cider I’ve had in a long time.

Opaque pale yellow with a quick dissapearign head. Soft natural smell of sour apples and sweet apples. Full oily body with soft carbonation and a sour lasting finish. Taste of sweet apples but not too sweet with some acidness and a dry lasting tart finish. The tart finish is a little to vinigry and is a little strong.

Bottle, shared with my wife over miso-ginger chicken on crisp snow-pea and toasted sesame salad. Slightly hazy medium gold, medium carbonation. Aroma is slightly spicy baking apples. Flavour is nice genuine apple with a slightly musty quality, spicy nuances, and a bit of a minerally finish. Very nice, and a great pairing with our delicious salty miso chicken.

Bottle at home in London, after biking for 40 minutes and running for 30 minutes. Pours clear, bubbly gold with no head. Holds a dusty, slightly dank apple aroma with just hints of sugar. Flavor is medium sweet, rather dry, with some faintly tangy apples speckled with must. Light to medium in body with fizzy, lively carbonation. Semi-dry finish, not too sweet, more musty apples. A very well-rounded cider I would say. I really wouldn’t guess this is over 5% abv. Solid.
