500ml bottle with no # descriptor. Imported by Shelton. Just UK Cascade. At least a couple years old. Plastic cup in my prison hotel room because I'm an infant that can't be trusted with glass. Clear, dark, iced-tea color. Pond scum lace. Smells of cascade, green tea, bittersweet apples, melted brown sugar. Cherry pit, lemon sweet tea, Juicy Fruit, white sugar, bittersweet apple juice, grassy weeds, tiny bit of oxidation. Maybe too sweet, tannic, tart, mellow acidity, very low carbonation. Good contrast. Refreshing & tasty.

Bottle sample at the source, courtesy of Tom, thank you sir! This one has a nice citrus nose. Body is light, and it has a peak in flavor with a quick finish. Tasty, but I couldn’t drink a lot of it. Pair it with a stinky cheese, Tom says.

500ml bottle as At The Hop 3, picked up at Gloucester Services Farm Shop, shared with Soph in Cornwall. Pours deep gold with a big complex aroma, light whisky, smoke, hop and cider barn. Taste is just as complex with smoke, citrus lime zest, sharp apple fruit and orchard must with amped-up earthy tannins. Massive complexity that continually evolves, drawing you in with every sip. Very impressed with this Tom.

Bottle shared at chriso’s Easter 2015 tasting - London. Pours clear gold with a foamy white head. Sweaty and funky, with lots of ripe apples. Light to medium sweet, with some musty farm, grass, dank apples. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Musty finish with mellow ripening apples, honey. OK.
