(Cask at Craft Beer Covent Garden, London, 21 Nov 2025) Golden colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of apples, apple skin and flowers. Fruity, slightly tart taste with apples, apple skin, grass, flowers and a generous acidity in the finish. Medium body, mainly dry. Slightly musty and sharp. Lots of character. Very nice.

Bag-in-a-box at Ealing Beer Fest 25. Aroma has a hint of sweetness alongside the astringent pulp and peel. Slightly opaque amber. Thin frothy foamy translucent white head primarily sticks to the rim. Flavourwise it is then very surprisingly sweet and syrupy. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish.

Cask at the Cock Tavern - Hackney. Pours mostly clear light gold with little to no head. Sweet semi-ripe apple, mellow funk, light acidity, a little salty. Good depth. Medium bodied with very fine carbonation. Balanced finish, light salinity, decent sweet apple notes. Sound.
