Box at The Water Gate (JDW), Barnstaple. Aroma isn't offering much. Clear. Apple obviously. Watery. Paper. Dry. Boozy.

Tasted at the Peterborough Beer and Cider Festival 2024 with Grumbo. Aroma is apple, apple core and wood. Decent body but a bit thin given the abv.

On tap at The Stable, pours a hazy golden, no head. Aroma brings out gentle funk, a little leather and even gentler acidity. Flavour is along the same lines, with gentle funk, medium sweetness, and earthiness. Doesn't have the integration that one might've hoped for. Okay.
