A Mes rate:
Barrel @ Reading Beer Festival. Dusty and slightly sweet cider. Some fairly pleasant juicy apple notes but just a little to harsh on the alcohol. So so.

2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 7/20
Barrel @ Reading Beer Festival 07. Sharp light cider. A little fruity flavour leads into a bit of tannin. Some acidity and vinegar. Not great. There was obvious flavour parallels between this and the chucklehead dry I had a couple of days later but this had more acidity which leads me to think it had spoilt.
