500ml bottle from the Bristol Cider Shop. Pale gold with a vague hint of a pinkish tinge and plenty of carbonation. Light apple juice aroma with some honeyed sweetness and a slight whiff of the barnyard in the background. Flavour was dryish to start with some earthy fruit and a flinty edge before some balancing sweetness in the finish. An enjoyable cider.

Polypin, room temperature @ The Plough Inn, Taunton, Somerset.
Bright, medium gold and still. Very dry, grainy apple pulp nose with lots of straw, minerals and mouse fur. A supple shortlived sweetness upfront, very dry in the back, really sucked the saliva out making it oddly more refreshing. Fresh, sharp green apple flavour, quite tart with a doughy pear fruit base. Finish is short, the body very light. Quite clean, again some mineralesque liquor comes through. A simple cider, easy quaffing!
