Comments: Middle of the road, tart and dry cider that feels a bit too much like licking leather.

Barrel@Kingston Beer Festival. Medium sweet , some slightly juicy apple sweetness, balanced with an almost limey acidity. Some light farmhouse funk, which is always nice.

Straight from the Plastic kek/cask at the Burton Winter Beer Festival on Sat 29th Jan. Very clear, green-ish yellow colour. Although the barrel said 7.4% the tasting notes said 7.5% Ahhh well either way. A little sweet for my taste but very Appley so still very drinkable

2.5 litre jug, BBE Oct 04. Alcohol comes through strong in the aroma, banana notes fight through alongside a whiff of ’green’ apple. Very pale clear yellow body, no head. And, for a crumpy, it’s a very subtle taster - a gentle, slightly sour ’fresh’ apple flavour with a passing puckering dryness.
