Enjoying and Sampling

Decided to try another couple of bottles of the first batch last night. This batch is 8 weeks since first brewing, and a couple of weeks since I tasted the last one from it.

Got to admit it is rather lovely, easy to go down and plenty of fizz in it even after the pint sitting for a bit.

It is definitely getting better over time and despite being tempted to drink the rest of it, I am going to try and keep spreading out the tastings for this to check on how good it actually gets.

After enjoying the above cider, I thought it might have been time to try the 1st bottle from the 2nd batch.

This one is 4 weeks from when it was first started, which is actually a bit older than when I tried the first one from the 1st batch.

As you can see, it is a lot lighter and crisper than the first lot, but definately not ready for mass consumption. There was very little fizz in the bottle, but this will improve and I reckon it will be lovely if left for another month or so.
