Update 24/12/22-Original review below. I have a bottle which is a completely different colour and a slightly different percentage to my original review. See pictures 2 & 3 for comparison. Dark gold colour, light fizz and slightly hazy. Ripe apple aroma with a little spice. Fruity, juicy flavour with some caramel. Very dark bronze colour, pretty hazy with light fizz. Aroma of leather with some oak. A little toffee in the taste with oak to finish. Rich and smooth.

Cloudy bronze, with an aroma of leather and apple skin, carrying oak tones. Rich, tangy, fruit flavour, with soft tannins and mild oak in the aftertaste, and a little molasses in the finish. Drinkable, and quite sessionable, with a pleasing flavour profile.

Dark copper colour with a hazy characteristic. It has a mature apple taste with a rich tangy flavour, which makes this quite appealing. Quite moreish and at 4.6% several could be enjoyed in a sitting.

Produced by Courtney’s Of Whimple, The Old Orchard, Whimple, Devon EX5 2PD “ We make our “ Silly Cow Cider “ using only the best of our delicious unsprayed fruit, picked from our traditional Devon Orchards in Whimple. Hand pressed, it’s fermented naturally, using only yeasts & sugars from the apples & we don’t add sulphites. We carefully manage our lovely 100 Year Old Cider Orchards, so the bees & wild life can enjoy it too. The freshly pressed apple “pulp” is savoured by the happy cows up the lane. “Clover” here says “‘Tis moooo..tiful me lubber” which proves that.. COWS ARE NOT REALLY “SILLY” AT ALL!.. www.courtneysofwhimple.co.uk Email cider.apples@hotmail.com 0.5 ltr clear glass bottle. 4.5% VOL
