Polycask at Merton Summer Beer Festival, 17-07-10 Pours dark gold verging towards orange, it sort of hits that midddle ground between that warm gold and the radioactive look that the Cheddar Valley cider that is always bright orange. Soft stewed apples on the nose, with also some sharp and crisp apple skin aroma. Tangy and tart in the mouth, a real citrus appley feel to this, refreshing, some late appley sweetness taking the edge of things but there is a nice gradual dryness throughout. Very nice.

A Sim rate (gravity at Merton Beer Festival): Smells like apples that have been around a while...and I mean that in the best possible way. Sweet but spicy with alcohol & wheatiness. Tastes so nicely dry like biting into a sour granny smith and following with a sweet cream. Tart kick reminiscent of a tarte citron. Billed as medium but drier than those billed dry. By far the jewel in the cider bar’s crown. Delightful.

Polypin at the Orchard, Bristol 07/05/09. Golden with no head. Tart apple aroma and flavour, with a hint of ammonia, the barnyard and distant farts. Ok.
