From a bag in a box at the Portcullis cider festival, Clifton, Bristol 12/08/10. Cloudy yellow in colour and still. Dryish, musty fruit aroma. Very light and easy drinking, with plenty of sweetish juice, with a slightly more dry finish. A bit dull.

From cask at Three Judges as Portias Perfection (to avoid confusion to a porter). Pours hazy yellow with a fully gone head. Light barnyard and dry phenolic aroma. Light smoked and solid phenolic flavoured with a distinct dryness an the smoke coming up from the back of the nose. Ends dry and acidic with a light apple dryness.

Cask. Three Judges, Glasgow. Golden, cloudy with almost no head. Sour/tart, almost a bit lambic-like, apple-skins. Dry. My first cask cider.

On tap at Bedford BF ’08. Pale gold. Sweet aroma with a gentle sourness. Sour, rather dusty taste. Slight dryness. Fair enough.
