A Mes rate: Polypin at GBBF. The nice dry citric notes are killed by a rather heavy hit of sulphur. There is some nice stuff going on for sure but the finish killed it a little. Watery mouthfeel didn’t help too much. Just not assertive enough.

Unclear yellow of colour with a small head. An aroma of fruits, dust and dry. A flavour with apples, fruits and nice dry.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear one, pale golden in color. Lots of apples on the nose, but a bit dull maybe. Slightly toffee-ish. The flavor is more clean, apples and more apples, medium bodied and semi-dry. Nice sourish apple-finish. A cider that drinks well, quenches the thirst and tastes nice as well, but doesn’t impress. 110128

Bottle 500ml. clear glass.

Clear light to medium yellow color with a fizzy, virtually none lacing, fully diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy apple, vanilla, light barnyard, light wood notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light acidic with a average to long duration, apple, dry. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft to flat. [20110128]

wooden cask, at Broome Farm. Clear pale golden colour, dry apple nose. Dry mouthfeel, rather tart apple flavours, wrounded off with some sweetness.

Cask at GBBF 09 ... hazy yellow ... light apple nose ... dry apple ... quite a lot of tanin.

Polypin at the Orchard, Bristol 13/09/09. Pale gold in colour, almost clear. Fresh apple juice aroma with some dryness. Flavour had a lemony edge, with a touch more fruit and lingering dry finish. Ok.

Cask at Coventry Beer Festival 08. Gold, slightly hazy. Sweet fruit aroma with a sourness developing at the back of the throat. Buttery taste with a grassy, nettly dryness. Quite good, but my judgement was impaired by this stage.
