[i] [b] Polypin at Banbury Beer Festival 08-05-08 [/i] [/b] Hazy golden orange colour little bit cloudy, I didn’t get the smokiness on the nose half as well as Loz but on second sniff I detected some there. Nicely rounded apple flavour the barrel ageing has taken some rough edges of of this or maybe just nullified the out and out appleyness, whatever its soft fruity but not full on fruity. Not as dry as I anticipated but with a nice smoky kick back at the end in the mouth very decent.
