Pyder

Dark golden, clear, complex. Initial whisky taste gives way to almond finish. Gwatkin is not one of my favourite cideries, I've had quite a few that were too funky and turbid for me, but I could happily drink this all day. Had at Kidderminster beer festival.

Golden colour, lightly sparkling and clear. Made from a combination of apples and pears. Pear is more prominent in the aroma with some hay. Fruity with a little spice. Rich and smooth.

Amber-coloured, with an aroma of ripe fruit, oak, and a little straw. Rich, mellow flavour, with some light tannins, spice, and a little pear skin. Nicely drinkable, yet complex and characterful. This would go really well with a nutty cheddar and oatcakes.
