From cask/handpump. Pours cloudy yellow with no head. Light phenolic and sweet apple aroma. Flavour is the same with a distinct sweetness coming through. Smooth and easy apple fruity finish. Light sweet and yet distinct phenolic.6-3-6-3-12=3.0

From tap at Wheatsheaf. Pours cloudy yellow with a full gone head. Light sweet an citric apple aroma. Flavour is mild sweet and citric apple flavoured. Nice phenolic notes on the back of the nose. Ends mild citric and light phenolic. Smooth and nice cider.6-3-7-3-13=3.2

handpull @ some random prince of wales in putney. Smells of mould, chemicals and a bit of apple. hazy golden colour, small white head with a bit of lace. Quite tart in flavour, very woody, strong vanilla notes, cider apples. Quite light and watery. very long bitter finish.

Draft at The Spaniards on the Heath. Fresh, tart apple aroma. Hazy peach juice color with some white head. Near medium in body with medium, firm carbonation. Flavors of apple and appleskin - hardly any "cooked" aspect. Quite refreshing.

As Addlestones Draught Cider. An unclear cider with no head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by apples. The flavor is sweet with notes of apples and wood. The acidity is medium.

Half pint on draft at Queens Arms in Kensington, London. I had this directly after trying Apple Bocq. This beer pours a body which contrasts to the previous beer mentioned. It is clear, yellow, and there is barely any head. The aroma is apple, and notes of wine - or whatever you want to label that as. The flavor however is slightly better than Apple Bocq because it is smoother, and not as overtly sweet. Good cider.

Handpump - White Horse Oxford. A hazy urine coloured cider. The aroma is apples and chemicals. The taste is sweet and apply. Quite refreshing actually.

I can only assume that this is the bottled form of the draught stuff that i sell in the pub, though they are the same % and taste the same and when iv asked admins about it, iv had no reply. Lightly sparkling, cloudier in a whiter kind of muddtness than the more yellow looking draught stuff. Aroma is tarts, sulphur, yeast. Taste is similar, quite drinkable if unexciting.

UPDATED: MAY 21, 2009 As its name would suggest, it’s a cloudy yellow colour with minimal carbonation and no head. Subdued, yet sweet apple aromas. The flavour is light and quite... well... appley with medium acidity. Smooth and dryish finish. Goes down well.

(RBESG 2007) Hazy yellow color. Yeasty aroma, apples and with woddy notes. Rather sweet ruity flavor, not what I really want...
