Bladder bag at the Four Candles, Broadstairs, 21/05/21. Pale clear golden with nothing offered in way of a head. Nose is bitter sweet apple tones, dusty hay, light funk levels, grains, wooded notes. Taste comprises tangy apple skins, tannins, light barnyard, residual sugars, iced glazing, vanilla trace. Medium bodied, fine to light carbonation, assertive dryness in the close. Solid stuff ... does not come in near 8% ... could do you some damage unknowingly sipping away on this !

Sample, thanks Grumbo! Misty straw yellow. Moderately sweet aroma, custard hints, taste is centred on a green apple character, crisp and crunchy in feel, with a nice bristling carbonation, gently tangy, sweet. Very good.

Box @ Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Clear golden-yellow, clean and crisp despite a dominant dryness. It’s not quite feeling its strength.
