minutemat	4.2 McCrindle's Vintage Cider (Bottle) 2012 Vintage. Really took me by surprise how good this cider is, considering it’s such as small producer. Crisp clean taste with mild dusty tannin and gorgeously sweet vintage apple crunch, without the oak barrel edge of other vintages which actually i prefer. Very nice blend which I shall definitely be drinking again. Thursday, September 19, 2013
Fin	3.5 McCrindle's Cider - Medium Dry (Draught) Bottle that I picked up from the Hop Pocket, Bishops Frome, Herefordshire, summer 2011 consumed 10.11.11 Pours rusty/gold excellent clarity and with some light carbonation. Very moreish, nice soft juicy apples but also a slight aged soft woodiness to this, tangy and crisp but also juicy with long good slightly dry tannic end to this. Nice stuff.

chriso	3.1 McCrindle's Cider - Medium Dry (Draught) Gravity dispense (bag-in-box) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, day 2 on 1 December 2010. Bugger, forgot to note down the ABV. A (new?) producer about which I know next to nothing. Slightly rubbery (not in a bad way), musky aroma. Plenty of fruit on the palate. On the sweeter side of medium dry. Easy-drinking and pleasant but not a stand out compared to some of the other ciders I tried at the festival. Sunday, March 6, 2011

An extremely drinkable cider from a small producer. Thursday, January 27, 2011
