(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 17 Nov 2023) Hazy golden colour with no head. Fruity nose with notes of apples, grass and honey. Fruity, tart taste with yellow apples, grass, honey and a generous, slightly harsh, acidity in the finish. Medium body, fairly dry. Tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.

500ml bottle shared with Soph. Misty golden yellow appearance. Lovely natural still cider, subtle tannin but nicely fruity with good juicy moments.

BIAB sample from GBBF 2019 courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Golden colour, no head and aroma of gluey apple. Taste is mellow, sweetish, apple core and skin, light barnyard funk, with some drying acidity. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry acidic finish. Quite drinkable.
