COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This cider is made from the single apple variety called Katy, and is a soft sparkling, medium dry cider at 7.4% abv. The full fruity flavor of the apple is retained as the cider matures in oak vats to produce a deliciously cool and refreshing drink.

You can’t taste the alcohole in it like you can in some other ciders. Light gold with low carbonation. Starts very sour and slowly becomes sweet. Tangy finish. You can feel the wood from the barrels.

sm89walt (1344) - Norwich, Norfolk, ENGLAND - APR 20, 2011
500ml bottle. Fading fizzy white head, clear & effervescent pale yellow body. Tangy green apple, a funky woodiness & a slightly sulphurous aroma. An instant hit of sweet red apples on the tongue. A delicate underlying tangy astringency & an even subtler apple peel bitterness that could do with being amping up. Spritzy on the palate, light, crisp & refreshing but a short, sugary, slightly vinuous profile leaving some residual sweetness on the palate. Despite its minor shortcomings, it’s a highly drinkable alcholic apple juice.

lusikka (2062) - Tampere, FINLAND - APR 8, 2011
500 ml bottle.
Pours a clear yellow colour without a head. Visible bubbles. Aroma of apples and some citrus notes. Flavour of tart apples, citrus, wood and some alcohol. Oak is definitely present. Medium bodied with a slick mouthfeel and a warming, alcohol finish with apples.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JAN 18, 2010
Bottle 50 cl. Clear golden with a very fizzy dissipating white head. Peely apple aromas. Medium body, sweet apple accents with a little peel and leather. Discreetly astringent but most is overpowered by the sweetness. Quite drinkable though. 180110

[RBESG, Sheffield]
Bottle @ Marble Arch, Manchester.
Pours clear golden with a small, off-white film head. Aroma has light sulpuric notes and sweet red apples. High prickly carbonation, fair, but rather thin mouthfeel. Flavour is quite sweet, red apples, a bit vinious and sugary. Imperial Somersby? Okay, it ain’r that bad...
