<i>Comments:</i> Sweetish, but pleasantly farmy, soft and, despite its low acidity, balanced cider.

May 20, 2007 Barrel at Stratford upon avon beer fest ’07. Clear gold with a bubbly head. Lovely looking farmhouse cider for a change, green apples with an acidic bite, balanced by enough sweetness.

Apr 18, 2007 Barrel at GBBF 2006. A hazy light yellow cider with no head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of apples and wood. The flavor is like apple juice and only with a slight acidity, and a dry end. Boring.

Nov 6, 2006 Bottle, my mum picked this up for me, and it formed part of an early, very alcohol dominated birthday present. Pours a wonderful warm golden colour, with a nice appley nose, carbonation wasn’t too bad at all so came across very well good soft appley taste a bit on the sweeter side of medium but I didn’t have a problem with that. My bottle was called Knights Malvern Gold Medium Reserve (hope that I’ve put it in the right place)

Aug 22, 2006 Barrel at GBBF 2006. Yellow/gold slightly hazy with no head. It’s a cider. Slightly farty sour cider aroma. Some apple juice in the mouth. Not too bad but it was getting to the end of Thursday and I was getting a bit blurry.
