3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 Jimthechap (1206) - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND - DEC 31, 2012
Deep orange/yellow colour similar to a dehydrated urinary secretion... but with bubles in it. Very little white head. Aromas of ripe apples and even a touch of interior housepaint. It could be interpreted that I didn’t like this. Not true. The impression was dodgy, but the execution was flavours of ripe apples, some sweetness and an enduring tartness. Not the most memorable cider, but very pleasant indeed.

Short-lived white head, copper-golden, (initially) quite carbonated cider. Pretty intense (dried) applenose, bit soapy, bit straw. Soft/mild-sweet, but also rather dull appleflavour, bit perfumey. Finish however, is pleasantly dry, even with marked dry-out effect; tannins or the appleskins?. Slick. Certainly decent, if not great.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 DruncanVeasey (6179) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Premier, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - DEC 20, 2012
500ml. Brilliant gold with no head and little visible carbonation. Aroma like a pedal bin softly humming with discarded peel and household waste; peel-rubbed inner tube again, dab of vanilla and spice from the oak; Asti Spumante. Sweeter but marginally more interesting than the last cider (Aspall Dry Premier Cru) with a pleasant, sherbety sweet-sour tang; sweet red and tart green fruit scrapping it out. Lethally easy to slug and disappearing fast. Finally some lingering acidity flecked with vanilla. Not bad I suppose. But it’s hardly beer, is it?
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 olliejobbins (339) - Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 24, 2012
500ml bottle. Excellent fruity aroma. Smells of fresh apples. Taste is similar - slightly sharp apples. Rather dry but I enjoyed it a lot
