(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, amber golden with no head. Sourish apple aroma. Medium body with almost sherry-like - or should that rather be calvados? - apple notes. In the finish I get the usual peely Gwatkin astringency although to a lesser extent in this one. 130507

KØ07. Citric and rubbery aroma. The flavour is sweet with a little aple notes and more rubber. Phenolic. Bad.

Københavnske Øldage 07. Bottle. Papsoe, thanks for sharing. Warm golden with notes of apple, horse blanket and sweat. the flavour has sweetness and notes of horse, sweat, apple and a dry finish. I’m still a cider novice, but I liked this one!

Bottle. Pours golden dark yellow with only a small fizzy head. Aroma has plenty of apples with a slight tartness to it. Mouthfeel is very dry. Taste is sweet with lots of woody tones and a slight bitterness.

Comments: One of Gwatkin’s smaller efforts I find. Yeasty, but more phenolic than funky and other wise simple cider.

Bottle, at Cardinal. A clear, golden cider with some off-white bubbles on top. Apples, hints of apple cores, a hint of sulphur and some funk in the aroma. The flavor has some alcohol notes and a little sulphur, or maybe more like a freshly lit matchstik, with apples doing most of the work. Astringent and dry in the mouth. Dry, apple finish. A quite decent cider, nothing more. 090928
