The game cock cider like the bird is hardy and dauntless in character and won’t take long to rustle your feathers. Your only instinct is to try the plucky sweet cider, that mates well with the game of the land.

13/4/2019. From Bag in a Box, at Hull Real Ale & Cider Festival, 2019. Pours clear pale amber/brown with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of sweet stewed apples and caramel. Medium plus sweetness, very light tartness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Finish of sweet caramel and a little cooked sweet potato. Not especially keen on this one.

BIAB at Hull Real Ale & Cider Fest 2019. Golden amber colour, no head and aroma of mellow sweet apple, some sick. Taste is sweet apple with honey, and then some drying tartness. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, semi-dry lingering sweet finish. OK.

Handpump @Brasserie 4:20 (Rome). Arancia carica, torbida, schiuma assente. Al naso sentori di mela matura, leggero acetico, legno (vaniglia). In bocca è dolce, succoso, astringente, con finale acidulo, acetico non pervenuto. Corpo esile, carbonazione soft. Discreto, nulla più.

Back in a box at PoW, Farnborough. Musty appleskin aroma. A cloudy dark amber. Thin bubbly head. Initial sourness before a wave of toffee apple sweetness sweeps in. Sour aftertaste. Medium bodied. Slick, almost silky. Flat. Limited finish. Don’t drink a great deal of cider but enjoyed this.

Bag-in-a-box at Chums, Redland, Bristol April 2016. Golden in colour, with a touch of carbonation. Easy drinking cider, with crisp apple juice and a hint of dryness in the finish. Fine.
