2006 Vintage. I generally don’t like bottled ciders. Moreover, I only infrequently order cider at the pub or beer festivals; when I do, I like the traditional cloudy, non-carbonated ones. This cider seems especially well-balanced, and looks and tastes more like a draught "real" cider than the normal bottled fizz. It’s only lightly fizzy on the tongue with fresh apple aromas. The flavour is mostly dry and tart but with a hint of apple-pie sweetness up front. Really quite nice.

Mar 30, 2008 Bottle from Morrisons, pale gold & hazy, nice appley aroma, with a touch of acidic sourness too, but not unpleasant. Fairly dry, and again that slight sour note, but again, it’s quite pleasant and adds to the experience. There’s a lot of flavour here without being overly complex, a damn fine cider, not one for quaffing tho!

Jan 14, 2008 Hazy gold. Sweet acidic aroma. Taste has sweetness, sourness and an astringent dryness. Best cider I’ve had from a bottle. Bar none.

Jan 6, 2008 Bottle from Morrison’s, Banbury, Oxon, had this 05-01-08 Poured hazy light amber in colour no head very still cider indeed. Very slight sourness on the nose and also deep stewed apples. Stunning depth of flavour a lovely maturity from this cider, has started to take on calvados characteristics, I loved this and would happily have drank this all night, well at least until I started wobbling and then fell over.
