Cask (or was it a bag-in-box hidden away in the cellar?) at Horse & Groom, Chobham. Sour edge apple peel. Clear gold. No head. Light-medium sour and gains sourness into the finish. Gets vinegary. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on oily. Flat carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish. Strong stuff. Doesn't overdo things buy no room for sweetness. It's alright but feel it would be better for cooking or such like.

5/2/2019. Can from Grumpy Goat, Reading. As Traditional Farmhouse Medium Dry 6.0%. Pours pale yellow gold with a very quickly dissipating white head. Aroma of slightly sour apples, caramel, a hint of spice and earthy potato. Moderate sweetness, light tartness. Moderate body, oily texture, average carbonation. Nice dry, tart finish. Decent traditional brew true to the name.

Bottle at Malt the Brewery, 12/08/17. Clear faded lemon yellow with a decent crown of white bubbles that collapse to the edge. Nose is funky apple, light smoke, woody, sweet and sour tunes. Tatste comprises sharp apple pucker, tannins, light smoke, caramel, apple orchard, hint of barnyard. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Decent cider ... more carbonation offered than most of this ilk which aided the drinkability for me.

Bottled@Nags Head, Reading. Hazy yellow colour, small white head, which disappears quite quickly. Aroma is apples, earth, nectar, some tart notes as well as mild yeasty notes. Flavour is apples, wood, some yeasty notes as well as quite dry wooden notes. Big tart, but sweet, apples with some vanilla as well in the finish. Very nice and refreshing cider.

Bottle from Cobbs Farm Shop, Near Hungerford, Berkshire consumed 11-11-09 Pours hazy gold, nice tangy aroma with that slight acidic recoil you get from a decent cider. Nice tannic bite, its strange because its starts with a sharpness but then soon levels out to have a more dessert apple quality, good combination, after a while I’m reminded of that slightly too watered down bottles of squash taste that me and our Scott used to take down Banbury Open Air Swimming Pool when we were kids in the Summer Holidays ( we used to live down that place) and for that lovely memory I reserve the right to give it an extra point. Its simple and very decent A7 A3 F7 P4 Ov14 3.5
