cgarvieuk (2302), Edinburgh, Scotland Jun 8, 2008 Cask at aberdeen Beer festival ... Slight hazy orange odd cider nose ... odd flavour ... load of apple in linger though. reakt (809), Greater London, England Nov 5, 2007 Cask @ Piglet BF, listed as Barker’s Seidr O Sir 6.8%? Hazy gold with no head. Apple, pear and a bit of hay in the nose, slightly medicinal. Sweet, juicy and tart at first, like biting into an apple but ultimately quite dry. You can certainly tell there’s a few varieties of apple in there, some cinnamon hints also. Warms your belly like wine. Good stuff. Mes_and_Sim (4176), London, Greater London, England Apr 9, 2007 A Mes rate:
Boxed stillage @ Planet Thanet. Very similar to the dry with just a little extra sweetness. Expect vintage barnyard character and puckery sourness. Excellent stuff. Magic_dave6 (3642), London, Greater London, England Feb 20, 2006 Aroma is sweetish apples, with soem sourness. Taste doesnt have to much appkle character, not very dry either, seems to have some apple skin going on. chris_o (4405), London, Greater London, England Sep 10, 2004 This was badged as Seidr O Sir Medium Cider, but it is not clear whether the producer makes any other version. Also at 7.7%, although the website says 8%. Hazy yellow colour. Medicinal, slightly phenolic aroma, to go with the usual farmyardy manure notes typical of an authentic farmhouse cider. The flavour is surprisingly fruity, but also has a good tart tannic grip. Certainly on the dry side of medium. From the barrel at GBBF 2004.
