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

tap at GBBF 2010 ...ary pale yellow ... light apple nose ... sweet bramly apple ... soft fruit ... quite easy and nice ...

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.
