On cask at Three Judges, pours a hazy bright golden orange, almost no head. Aroma brings out farmhouse notes, apple core, and light apple skins. Flavour is lightly funky, with sour apples, apple skins, apple core, and some farmhouse notes. A little too sour and served too warm even for a cask. It's alright.

Cask @ Flying Horse Hotel, Rochdale. Amber-orange and mildly hazy. Healthy Apple flavour, decent aroma too, gets quite bittered in its finish.

4/9/2020. From BIAB at the Fat Cat, Ipswich. Pours hazy pale amber with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of moderately sweet apples, tannins, wood, barnyard, funk, light caramel. Moderate sweetness and tartness. Medium body, low carbonation. Nice semi-tart funky drying finish. Quite enjoyed this.

Bag in a box at Yard of Ale St Peters, Hazy Cloudy thick red gold orange colour lasting white bubbles. Sultana and apple aroma. Some sweetness in the mouth. Some dryness on finish. Fleshy fruit mouthfeel. Hides abv well. Not very funky but there is some tannin to attack the gums. I ended up respecting it rather than liking it.

Box @ Stable, Birmingham. Pours hazy, murky gold with a sour aroma. Taste is similarly sour and tangy with little apple fruit fighting its way through. Bristling sour tannins and wild orchard funk. A little hard to like.
