minutemat	3.3 Mahorall Farm Cider with Damson 500ml bottle from the producer @ Whitchurch Food & Drink Festival june 14, drunk in the garden at home. Pours dark purple, still, with an aroma of hedgerow berries. Nicely blended taste, not too sweet, a little astringent with damsons and blueberries adding to it’s natural acidic tang. Nice but not sure I’d reach for another. Tuesday, July 15, 2014
minutemat	3.3 Mahorall Farm Cider with Ginger 500ml bottle from the producer @ Whitchurch Food & Drink Festival June 14, drunk in the garden at home. Pours a murky brown, light ginger aroma. Taste is soft ginger with that Mahorall cider tang. Moderately sweet and moreish. Tuesday, July 15, 2014

minutemat	3.4 Mahorall Farm Dry Still Farm Cider (Bottle) Bottle from a farm shop somewhere in Herefordshire. Has a dry chickenshed aroma, extremely dry, astringent tang that clings to the back of the throat. Quite enjoyed this. Can see it in a snazzy new label stocked in the major stores before too long.

AshtonMcCobb	3.6 Mahorall Farm Dry Still Farm Cider (Bottle) Pours a cloudy orangey-red, with no bubbles (as expected). The nose has apples, cider vinegar and then an appley-yeasty note. The taste has tart apples and more of the sour yeast. The palate is tight but intense in structure and texture and there is a persistent sour finish. Overall, perhaps this is what Scrumpy is supposed to be. It reminds me somewhat of a lambic in terms of the palate - I like it a lot. Sunday, August 28, 2011
AshtonMcCobb	3.3 Mahorall Farm Dry Sparkling Farm Cider Pours amber with gentle bubbles and no head, though a little froth. The nose is very dry and sour, so apples obviously, but also going into cider vinegar. The taste is again very dry, so a crisp apple note at the front then a really tangy apple and yeast finish. The palate is lean in structure and texture and then long and dry on the finish. Overall, a really interesting absolutely bone dry cider. Friday, August 26, 2011
AshtonMcCobb	3.6 Mahorall Farm Medium Sparkling Farm Cider (Bottle) 50cl bottle. Pours amber with gentle bubbles and no head. The nose has very sour apples. The taste has a beautiful balance of sweet ’n’ sour, since it’s a medium, there is just a touch of sweetness on the front of the palate and this is balanced with a long dry sour finish. The palate is lean but concentrated with a lot of length and the refreshing finish means I’m refreshed for the next mouthfull. Overall, this is great! Friday, August 26, 2011

chriso	3.4 Mahorall Farm Medium Draught Cider This was on sale as King-Turner Medium Cider. King-Turner is the name of the family that owns Mahorall Farm Cider. Although they usually use the Mahorall Farm label, it seems that the ciders sometimes appear at festivals under the King-Turner name. I have no reason to think this is a different product to the Mahorall Farm Medium. ABV not stated. This was an uncompromisingly traditional cider, although the farmyardy elements in the aroma were quite muted. Despite being described as Medium, this was highly attenuated, quite dry and rather austere. Some residual apple flavour. Crisp and fresh. Plenty of rasping tannin on the finish. If you like traditional ciders (and I do) you’ll like this one. From the barrel at Catford Beer Festival 2005. Saturday, June 11, 2005
