Forager

Now 3.4%. Somewhat turbid and notably sour. However, as the two (most prolific) previous reviewers rated it only 1 for sourness I assume my rating of 4 was due to it being passed its sell by date and so I haven't rated for sourness. To be fair the landlord did warn me it was an acquired taste.

Vimto colour, pretty clear and still. Blackcurrant aroma. Fruit flavour but you do get apple. Ok but not my bag.

This was the first cider recommended to me by a new cider enthusiast contact. It is also the first, I think, which I have ever had from Kent, despite the rich heritage of the county's orchards. And it is also a fruit-flavoured cider, which I'm not really a fan of. However, despite all the potential negatives, I am suitably impressed. I have found most flavoured ciders to be oversweet and artificial, but the subtle berry flavours are perfectly balanced, and do not drown out the underlying apples. This is a berry cider for adults! Kentish Pip describe this as an autumn cider, but this would be a refreshing drink on a warm summer's day, and I can equally imagine some people choosing this as a mulled cider on a winter's night.
