500ml bottle from the Co-Op in Sidmouth. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a short-lived, frothy white head . The aroma is big apple. The flavour is light sour, with a crisp, floral, acidic, apple, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Really needs food at the same time.

Klar brun farge uten skum. Lukter grønne epler og malt. Veldig tam. Smak av eplejuice/cider.

Bottle, gift from Mum & Dad - cheers! Clear gold with a white head and a middling fizz. Ooh.. it's weird, didn't expect something like this from a trad bitter brewer like Hunters. It smells strongly of apple juice. The flavour is apple sauce and crackling (not sure if the crackling is autosuggestion from the apple sauce flavour, but I definitely felt there was a light savoury, greasy note). This is followed by dry, dusty straw-like hops and caramel. It's sweetish overall, with just a mildness. I actually think it would do well in it's intended purpose, as a match for a hog roast. On its own though it's just odd and it's difficult to decide if I like it or not. By the end of the bottle I decided that it was actually ok, and a bonus point to the brewer for trying something unusual and unexpected.

Bottle from The Shops At Dartington. Appearance - golden with a hint of amber. Nose - fresh green apples without even getting your nose close. Taste - again fresh and ripe green apples. Dry, light pithiness on the back. Palate - creamy and light to medium bodied. Dry, bitter finish. Overall - decent.

Cask at the Clocktower, Torquay. Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma: apple candy, light acidity, floral. Taste: light to moderate sweet, dry, tangy apples, berry fruits, toffee. Medium body, soft carb, semi dry close. Odd

500ml bottle conditioned, drank at home on 5th July 2018. Must admit I expected more from this beer as I have really enjoyed brews from these guys before. This light golden beer with it's white crown was watery, thin and held too much of an apple flavour for me. It just didn't seem right, managed to drink it all though!

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with a thin bright white head. Aroma: reminiscent of Sourz Apple but very sweet, artificial, I get no malt or hop notes at all. Taste: very sweet artificial apple, the finish is very bitter and very metallic and chemically, like someone has sprayed bleach in my mouth, again absolutely no malt or hops detected. Couldn’t manage more than a few sips of this. I really hope this was just a bad bottle and it’s not supposed to taste like this...

Cask @ The Grove, Huddersfield. Clear golden with a small head. Full with its apple aroma, but bland in its apple taste.
