We love it when two worlds collide. A graff is just that, a unique, improbable hybrid of beer and cider that defies all rules and parameters.

Juicy blended apples are fermented with a caramelised and malty beer wort, the alchemy provided by the skillful addition of American Ale and Sauvignon Blanc style yeasts.

The blend of hops gently opens the nose to the aroma of crusty bread. Combining the maltiness of grains with the sharpness of fruit, it delivers an intense mouthfeel evoking memories of continental beer, against the subtle sweetness of pure apple juice.

Can, small stable bubbly head, touch hazy dark red to light brown color, not too appealing, malty aroma with some apple and a hint of hay, fmalty flavor with cooked apples and some barnyard hints, light unpleasant bitterness, metalic aftertaste. Not good or exciting, feels old, not fresh.

330ml can from Brewdog online. Coppery amber-gold colour, off-white foam head leaving alittle lacing and fruity apple & malt aroma. Taste is malty, with sourish fruity apple notes. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry sourish tangy finish. Quite OK.

On tap at the brewery Bermondsey. As Graff Apple Pale Ale. Hazy deep amber russet colour lasting white head. i thought an interesting mix of a sherbet earthy pale ale and a medium cider. Certainly drinkable. I guess an ale yeast used. Earthy pale ale. Quite exciting mix in the mouth. Oddly good.

Hawkes. Keg. Very light haze on this amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin bolts, mildly sweet and with a trace of caramel. Nice cidery apple, a little floral apple. Light crisp minerally finish. Tasty, a rare thing, a good apple beer!

Keg at Hawkes. It pours clear rich amber with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, soft, sweet, rioe apple, apple pie and bread. The taste is dry, bitter, toasty grain, tart apple, apple skin, earth, tannin and bread with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice real apple character. Good.
