Brigadier	3.3 Chant Badgers Spit Cider (Draught) On tap at a cider festival in Bath The second cider that I went for was not quite as good as the first. However it was much drier and provided good contrast. Now that I can begin to see the subtleties in some of the different ciders I begin to appreciate how well made the best are. Aroma / Appearance - The rosy gold base is a tint darker than the previous one. A coppery edge and flat body look like melted pennies. The smell of a dry riesling gives this vinous aspects of a dessert wine. Thick and heady it does not try to hide the ABV at all. Flavor / Palate - The vinous aspects do not stop in the nose. From the first sip this is a dense mixture of sweet apples, white wine, and a tartness that borders on acidic. Even by the end I was not sure what to make of this enigmatic draft.

1962Chant	4.2 Chant Badgers Spit Cider (Draught) Well what can I say, "Badgers Spit" is only made by Chant Cider and Naish’s Cider is called just Naish’s Cider, the national collection is wrong in there labelling! However Frank Naish and Paul Chant both help each other to make each others cider up every year from only 100% cider apples from there own orchards, some of the variety’s are very ancient and some are there own sort grown from pit in the last 100 years or so. There cider don’t go below 7.5% but it usually is much higher somewhere between 8 and 9%, two years ago the first two barrels where exceeding 10.5%!! Opus? lol.. I must confess I would and have been extremely bias in my Rating, as I actually make "Badgers Spit" lol.. Being an Artisan Natural Cider every barrel is slightly different and the cider being a living product is changing throughout the year, its never the same ... Enjoy (=*_^=) Friday, November 2, 2012

Martin243	1 Chant Badgers Spit Cider (Draught) Free sample from a plastic barrel on the bar at the Wheatsheaf ,Felling. I’m all for challenging flavours, and pushing the envelope, but this was downright nasty. Ridiculously harsh and acidic, to the point where the first sip made me cough, and it went downhill from there. It may be an acquired taste, but not one I want to acquire! Thursday, August 2, 2012
