(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 21 Nov 2025) Hazy pale yellow colour with no head. Fruity nose with notes of apples, grass and citrus. Fruity, tart taste with apples, citrus, grass, herbs and a generous acidity in the finish. Medium body, medium dry, with some sweetness lingering. Fresh, juicy and crisp. Very nice.

Draught at Wolf in the Attic, Eastbourne. Gorgeous aroma of fresh apples. Literally like drinking Copella - you would have NO idea that there was 6% booze in it. Extremely gluggable but lacking some oomph and bitterness.

On cask at The Grapes, pours a hazy blonde with almost no head. Aroma brings out dusty farmhouse funk, crisp apple skins, and some hay. Flavour is medium sweet, with crisp apple skins and subtle farmhouse funk. I'd like less sweetness and more farmhouse character, but this isn't terrible.
