Sep 29, 2009 Bottle, at Cardinal. A clear, golden cider ith a diminishing white head. Some alcohol, quite heavy apple aroma, hints of cellar, and vinegar on the nose. Nice flavor with alcohol and lemony tartness, hints of vinegar and a good taste of apples and apple cores. Dry, warming and astringent. Apples, some alcohol and tartness in the finish. A lovely cider in my book, good tartness and really filled with apples. 090728

Aug 9, 2009 500 ml bottle. Clear golden with a decent white head. Aroma of both fresh and ripe apple, quite nice. It’s dry but not as dry as Golden Valley and the flavor is pretty clean. This is more an average cider with good quality. Refreshing but not outstanding, but the aroma is really nice

Aug 4, 2009 Bottled, 500ml prob filtered. Gold with no head. The aroma is great, rich sweet apple, really fresh. The body a little less so, its fairly thin despite the ABV, the apple flavour is good and clean though, dry abd fruity. Pretty decent for a bottled cider.

May 23, 2009 Updated: May 24, 2009Bottle from Tanners, Hereford. Amber in colour with slight carbonation. Light dry apple and barnyard aroma. Light, tart apple flavour with a dryish finish. Clean, competent, but lacking in character.
