Straight up farmhouse cider. Not as crushingly dry as some, has sweet notes running through it. Really rather quaffable.

I like this a lot. It’s an unusual flavour that is almost like a scrumpy mixed with a delicious cider vinegar. It’s a gorgeous amber colour, but I must disagree with my fellow reviewer, no scent of oak within a twelve foot radius. Sorry. 😎

Typically dry Herefordshire cider. Rich golden colour and strong almost vinegary aroma and taste. Cant say it was overly enjoyable, but worth a try if tart farmyard scrumpynis to your taste.

Flat cloudy light straw colour. Small amount of funk on the nose. Definitely not a dry cider as adverse but really pleasent. Much more mild tasting notes than what you normally receive from this producer. Very fruity throughout. Bought at Chepstow beer and cider festival 2024

Straight from the farmyard flavour. If you like your ciders with an old fashioned taste, drink this. Has a gentle burn and not too bitter despite its listing as a dry cider.

Deep amber colour and very clear. It’s a bit sharp with some good funk. Pleasant aftertaste.

I think it would make a nice salad dressing. My fellow tasters like it but it’s a bit too much for me.

Comes in a 568 ml (1 Pint) bottle. Amber in colour, with an aroma dominated by oak. Initially a ripe, fruity flavour, becoming dominated by tannins and oak. As usual from Gwatkin, well-made and well-balanced, but this one lacked a little depth compared to other Gwatkin ciders.
