330ml bottle from the National Brewery Centre, Burton. Pours clear deep gold, good medium fruit on the nose. Taste presents a nice medium fruit character, some underlying soft tannin with fleshy moments.. keeved perhaps? Not sure. It's clean, balanced and an enjoyable fruity medium overall.

Bottle sample @ RBBWG 2016, thanks René. Léger orangé, col fin blanc disparaissant vite. Pomme sur des notes herbacée, le tout est sec mais gardant une petite dose d douceur. Râpeux en bouche avec qcq tanins, pomme cara en toute fin de bouche. Reste fraiche, sans vraiment avoir trop de complexité.

0.33 l bottle at RBBWG 2016 in Antwerpen. Clear, golden amber, white head. Sweetish, slightly sourish aroma of caramel, honey, apples and white grapes. Sweetish, slightly sourish, fruity taste of green apples, white grapes, some honey and caramel, followed by a short, slightly bitter, rather tart finish. Thin to medium body, slightly creamy and spritzy mouthfeel. Nice!

Clear orange cider, no head, some big bubbles. Aroma: dry, bit fruity, almonds, sweet, some honey, bit oxidized. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet and fruity start, bit sourish, pretty dry. Aftertaste: some tannins, dry finish, citrus, spicy touch. Not too bad actually.
