Handpump @ the Cradock Leicester. Ripe apple and oaky aroma. Pale golden colour. Taste is ripe apple, slightly woody. Smooth but not very satisfying mouthfeel. Drinkable but normal. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: APR 3, 2013 500ml bottle (Hilpea Haukki, Helsinki) (6:3:5:3:10=2.7)
Simple lightly sour and apple aroma. Clear gold, fizzy carbonation. Watery palate. Rather feeble. Nice tartness, but that’s about all. Don’t make cider at 5% please, and if you do, please don’t filter it.
Rerate: Bag-in-box (St George, Staines) as Marcle Hill (6:3:5-:3-:10=2.7--)
Nice sharp fruity aroma. Watery palate, flat. Quite lacking a fruity body, disappointing. Watery finish.

Draught. Pours clear golden in color. Light funk and a bit of fresh apples in aroma. Flavor has a bit more of a ripe apple taste in it, feels a bit more sweet than the aroma suggested. Light funk in aftertaste as well with some sweeter notes too.

Westons marcle hill cider. Pours clear pale golden with no head. Aroma is fruity acidy stable and a bit sweet. Flavor is a bit watery fruity apples acidy crisp and well carbonated. Finishes dry apples and acidy.

Bag-in-the-box at The Globe, King’s Lynn, as Marcle Hill Cider
Light amber color, still. Light apple juice flavor. Mellow mouthfeel, semi sweet, with some decent apple juice flavor and light astringency.
Simple but pleasant.

Willow Walk, August 2011 as Marcle Hill. Clear golden with a small white head. Weak aroma of apple and wood. Sweet apple flavour with some sulphur notes

Polypin @ Willow Walk, JDW, Victoria SW1. Pours a golden color with no head. Has a fruity tart apple arome. Fruity tart dry apple flavor. Has a fruity tart apple finish.

Polypin, room temp. @ The Plough Inn, Taunton, Somerset (labelled Marcle Hill Cider).
Bright medium gold and still. Simple aroma of sweet apple pulp, plump, ripe, clean and without any noticeable nuances. Quite mousy, cheesy with a rough woody finish. Smooth, very light bodied, even watery, apple flavour is subdued on the palate but in high gear in the swallow. Residually sweet, tangy, feintly bitter, linger of fruit pulp fades off slowly. Pretty straightforward stuff. A session cider in the making, it’s at least halfway there!

Cask @ Weatherspoons, London. Pours clear golden with a white head. Sweet and fruity. Lively sparkling carbonation. A bit tart. Green apples and barnyard. Ends dry.

[Cask at The Falcon (JDW), High Wycombe] Gold, no fizz. Rather vinegary apple aroma. By contrast, on tasting it’s smooth and creamy with lots of vanilla and a hint of oak. As ciders go, this one’s not too bad.
