From the barrel (gravity) at the Darlington Spring Thing Beer Festival. ABV is 5.2%. Pale golden colour, just a slight haze. Nice aroma of pears and apples, hints of oak and sulphites. Light bodied, medium dry flavour of pears.

(Draught from the barrel at GBBF, London Earl’s Court, 5 Aug 2010) Pale yellow colour with no head. Fruity, tart nose with notes of ripe pears and light hints of vinegar. Fruity, tart taste with pears and hints of grass. Mainly tart, but with some underlying sweetness. Quite nice.

A Mes rate. Cask at the Southampton.
Yellow brown colour. Rather a lot of vinegar on the nose but it’s not unpleasant. Strange flavour. Definite red wine vinegar in the mouth along with some green tea, a little airfix glue and some lemon barley. Not much in the way of apples to speak of. Very odd stuff. Not great, but inoffensive.

From the barrel at Catford Beer Festival, June 2006. Hazy pale lemon colour. Plenty of fruit, with just a little tannin to provide some backbone. The overall impression though is mellow and easy drinking. Decent but nothing really stood out.
