East Stour Cider - Medium (Draught)
From polycask (gravity dispense) at Great British Beer Festival, day 4 on 5 August 2011. Noted at 5.9% but alcohol levels in cider can vary from year to year. Fairly clear gold colour. Designated "5" on the GBBF sweetness scale, which means medium-dry, but it seemed closer to medium than to bone dry. Aroma had some fruit and was a bit musty. Quite sharp on the palate - a little acetic but low on tannin, which can often be the case with "Eastern counties" style ciders. Pleasantly drinkable stuff.

East Stour Perry (Draught)
Bag in a box at Planet Thanet BF 2010. Cloudy pale gold/silver colour. Aroma is quite sweet. Not the world’s most challenging perry. Good fruit, just a touch too sweet, bit of eating pear flavour in there somewhere I think. Little bit of perfume. Good though.

East Stour Cider - Medium (Draught)
From plastic barrel in The Chambers, Folkestone. Very apple juicy. Not a lot of tannin or other characters, but if you like alcoholic apple juice this is pretty good. Not overly sweet with some dryness on the finish even. Simple, but pretty tasty and I’d like to try the dry.
