The result is a deep amber, clear cider that is medium-dry to medium-sweet, featuring a smooth, fruity, and slightly tannic finish rather than an overly sweet or synthetic aftertaste.

It is crafted using a blend of bittersweet apples, notably Dabinett for a rich body, Redstreak for peppery, spicy notes, and Tremlett’s for tannins.

—represents a crucial intersection of traditional Somerset cidermaking and modern branding. As a 4.5% ABV medium-dry cider, it has earned a loyal following by delivering a full-bodied, authentic apple flavour that sets it apart from more mainstream, overly-sweet options. For consumers looking to purchase a craft-focused yet accessible cider, understanding the heritage and characteristics of this specific "rascal" is worthwhile.
