Barn Owl | Medium Dry | Light yellow. Crystal clear despite it being unfiltered. Lovely fresh apple smell with ever so slight straw nose. Clean apple juice flavour, Bittersweet but with a slight tartness and grab in the back of the throat. Ends up with a slightly dry aftertaste. | ★★★★★ | 5.5% |

Dabinett | Medium Sweet | Golden yellow, ever so slightly cloudy mid yellow with a gentle fizz. Good strong sweet single apple nose, obviously Dabinett. Taste wise, smooth medium sweet initially but dries out very quickly with a fair astringency and tannin. It is a very simple Dabinett taste which means a little bit of a farmyard taste, but not nasty. Would drink again but probably not buy in bulk | ★★★★★ | 5.6% |

Gray Heron | Sweet | Blend of Redstreak and Dabinett apples. Simple fresh nose. Tingly on the tongue but a nice mellow bittersweet taste with strong apple. I find it quite dry personally with the tannin from the Dabinett but not unpleasant. They call it sweet but I don't agree it's more medium As with all of Perry's, quite drinkable. Quite earthy. | ★★★★★ | 5.5% |

Puffin | Dry | Mid yellow pretty clear if poured carefully as it has a sediment. Bottle conditioned so slight fizz.
Lovely full apples skin nose. Nice simple smooth apple flavour that rolls off the tongue leaving a dry aftertaste on the tip just asking for more as is normal with Dabinett. Oak conditioned but you don't get much of the Oak. 6.5% so care needed as it is so smooth. Only a slight tartness to add an edge. Lovely, went through the case very quickly. | ★★★★★ | 6.5% |

Redstreak | Medium | Single variety Redstreak using champagne yeast. You don't see Redstreak often so it's a bit different. Yellow, slightly cloudy, good sparkle. Nice gentle apple nose, not huge, but pleasant. Lovely crisp dryish bite, with a good solid traditional juicy apple flavour. Lingering slightly tannic aftertaste. Good, but possibly a little tannic for my taste | ★★★★★ | 6% |

Tremlett | Medium Dry | Single variety Tremlett Big lovely sweet apple nose. Dry on the tongue and heavy tannin on the side and back of the throat. Nice mellow aftertaste though
Despite the tannin I found it a pleasant drink If this is what Tremlett apples taste like then more people should do single variety of it. | ★★★★★ | 5.9% |

Vintage | Medium | Slightly ever so slightly hazy dark gold yellow. Ever so lightly sparkling. Nice mellow apple nose. Nice bittersweet. Full flavour but with a light apple aftertaste, you get a bit of the wood it was conditioned in as well as a slight caramel note. Would be a good session cider but a short one at 6.7% | ★★★★★ | 6.7% |
