500 ml bottle courtesy of geth in beer. Thanks very much. Softer fruitier aroma than the Trembletts I had alongside it. Deeper copper colour. Very cloudy. Fairly acidic, malic aroma. Sweet appley fruit, light apple and a touch of tannic aroma. Ncie wild character, dusty and musty. Flavour is quite lovely, soft and sweet, with a bit of clove and allspice notes sneaking in over the baked apple notes as well. Strong assertive tannic dryness. A bit fuller bodied than the Tremblett’s but the flavour is just slightly less appealing. Still, a tasty cider.

Sep 29, 2009 Bottle, at Cardinal. A clear, golden cider with a diminishing white head. Some alcohol in the aroma, but mostly apple cores. Apples, apple cores and some orchard in the flavor, tart and astringent. Dry finish. Medium to full body. A quite nice cider with a pleasant warmth. Smooth in a way, and quite easy to drink. 090728

Aug 8, 2009 500 ml bottle. Clear golden with a small and diminishing white head. Refreshing aroma of sour apple. Flavor is rather mild balanced between sweet/sour apple, but no doubt a true cider. The apple flavor is dominating and it is easy drinkable, but a prefer a bit more edge similar to Golden Valley from same producer. Could be the apples or maybe the oak? Anyway a nice, plain and real cider.

May 23, 2009 Bottle from Tanners, Hereford. Amber in colour with slight carbonation. Aroma of dry apples, vinegar and a touch of green herbs. Flavour began sweet, with juicy apple fruit, followed by a fresh blast of the English countryside/market gardens - ransoms, spring onions, herbs. Finish inclined towards sweetness, but overall a cider full of character.

May 16, 2009 Cask... Murky amber cider with no head. Subtle aromas of apple, leather and distant smoke. Full-bodied and coarse with only a rumor of carbonation. Very sweet; red and yellow apple blend. Lengthy, lightly sweet finish that dries out entirely.

May 10, 2009 Polycask at Banbury Beer Festival, Oxon, 08-05-09 Pours gold some haze, really juicy and more of a medium sweet than medium. Wonderfully full on sweet appley goodness, very tasty and I can see why this was voted UK champion cider at Reading last weekend as it will appeal to many. A7 A3 F7 P4 Ov 3.5
