Growler from LCB. Light hazed dark gold with some light bubbles. Aroma has dry fruity apples and plenty of barnyard. Taste has a nicely balanced fruity apple, barnyard, wood, light cider vinegar. Quite smooth and dry but not to sandpaper quality like some. Very good cider.

(Cask at Euston Tap West, Euston, London, 18 May 2023) Hazy golden colour with no head. Fruity nose with apples, citrus and an almost silage like yeast touch. Fruity, tart taste with notes of apples, citrus, hay, apple skin tannins and a generous acidity in a dry finish. Medium body, quite dry. Solid and well made. Nice one.
