What does Purbeck No.10 look like?

Purbeck No.10 is a bog-standard amber coloured cider.
It looks lovely and refreshing when poured outside in the sunshine.

What does Purbeck No.10 smell like?

I like the whiff of burnt toffee which hints at a bittersweetness of the cider.
There is also a musky, leathery smell which is certainly unique.
As you’d hope, the appley notes run through the experience too.

What does Purbeck No.10 taste like?

Purbeck market this cider as their more accessible cider. A cider that would rival the likes of Thatchers Gold, Inches etc.

It holds its own very well in a unique way, however.

When you take this cider into your mouth, you’re greated with a lovely sweet start.
Waves of light caramel wash across the tongue.
When you take it back, you’re left with a beautiful aftertaste of light traditional, tartness.
It’s a really nicely balanced cider. No flavour overwhelms the other.

I don’t think the traditional finish to Purbeck No.10 is enough to put of those with a sweeter tooth. I actually think it might help those with a sweet persuasion to branch into the bittersweet arena.
