A Mes rate: barrel at GBBF.
Cloudy yellow brown with some iron filings sleeping at the bottom of it. Tea??? Honestly, loads of it. Slight glue. Faint apples. Rather a lot of skin in the flavour with a nice and juicy, spicy finish.

GraviCask (GBBF2011, Friday)
Pongy. Chemical taste, solvents, sulfur, tannines. Really not a good example of a scrumpy.

Cask. Pours cloudy, dark brownish yellow. Taste is lightly sour, lightly sweet. Palate is dry and thick, flat carbonation. Aromas have fruit, yeasty leaves and barnyard.

Cask (gravity) @ Great British Beer Festival, GBBF 2008, Earls Court, London, England SW5.
Unclear medium yellow grey color with virtually none head. Aroma is moderate apple, wood, rubber notes. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and moderate sour with a average duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. (070808)

@GBBF2008. Hazy yellow colour, no head. Aroma is apples, some sourness and some mild notes of oak. Flavour is very much the same along with mild sweetness from riped apples.
