Bag in a box at Beer Shop Folkestone. Clear pale gold colour no head. Decent cider character. Some dryness. Im guessing a mix of eating apples with a few cider apples. Decent apple juice flavour. Some tannin on the finish apple skins flavour on the finish. Drinkable.

Keg at The Escapist, Petersfield. Hazy-opaque light gols. Bubbles stick to the rim. Aroma is sweet with some pithy and a caramel edge. Flavourwise it's chewy and sweet with a sour edge. Toffee apple. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Slightly pithy. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Hits the spot. Sweet but in the right measures.

330ml bottle from Micro Beer Crate online. Clear gold, brief fizzy head. Sweet apple juice, some barnyard but fairly clean in aroma. Quite sweet and mellow in taste with some tannins and a light dry finish. Easy to drink pleasant cider.

On tap at Brick Lane Tap Room, pours a cloudy dull golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out a nice farmhouse character, with fairly dry dusty apples, and crisp apple skins. Flavour is farmhouse-y, with fairly dry apples, gentle residual sugars, crisp apple skins. Nice funk character. Very good.

(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 26 May 2022) Hazy golden colour with brief white head. Fruity nose with apples, honey and grass. Fruity taste with notes of apples, honey grass, apple peel and a balanced acidity in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Really tasty and well balanced. Very nice.

From tap at the Plum Tree Beer Shop and Bar, Plumstead, 16.07.22. Cloudy pale straw colour. Absolutely superb taste of bitter and sour cider apples, apple zest, leather and a touch of bonfire.
