Box @ Bridge Street Ale House. Very pale gold, clear. Oily mouthfeel, sweet Kentish apple fruit, tastes probably half its strength, excellent drinkability.

Draught at Number Twenty2 Darlington. Hazy pale yellow colour, short-lived thin fizzy head and fruity apple aroma. Taste is sweet, tangy spicy apple with light tannin. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry sweetish finish. OK.

Bottle shared during the RBESG 2014 Sunday tasting at Craft Beer Co. Clerkenwell. Pours clear honey yellow-gold with a few bubbles for a head. The nose holds ripe and sugary apples with touches of creme and alcohol. Medium sweet flavor with artificial apple character, stewed apples, caramel. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with gooey sugars, white bread and heavy, syrupy apples. Meh.
