Featured in the Oct 2023 edition of The Observer’s Food Monthly magazine. The Ciderologist, Gabe Cook, awarded it 5 stars out of 5 in a blind tasting, commenting:' Nutty, earthy, muscovado sugar – this grows. Smooth and weighty; dark, brooding; intense fruits and so many spices. To have that much intensity and character, that is a cider for grownups.'
