A Sim rate (bag in a box at Pig’s Ear - labelled as "Gillow Mr Boy’s Dry"): Sweet, green apple peel aroma with pear drops and sugar. Too, too sweet in the flavour but nicely green apple with some delicate cinnamon.

Cask (gravity) @ 27th Pigs Ear Beer and Cider Festival 2010, at The Round Chapel in Hackney, London, England

Unclear medium orange colour with virtually none head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy apple, green apple, tart apple, vinegar notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light to moderate acidic with a average to long duration, dry dry, vinegar notes. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20101201]

On draught at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, day 2 on 1 December 2010. Hazy yellow colour. Good solid stuff with plenty of fruit. Pleasant tannins providing a firm backbone. Dry, but bone dry. Very drinkable. A new producer to me and a promising first experience.

Cask at the Pig’s Ear BF 2010. Golden pour, no head. Light apple and vinegar nose. Good flavor, lightly spicy, with nice acidity, mild vinegar and background cider character. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Very dry finish, with lingering acidity, mild funk and mild apples. Nice cider.
