BIAB at York Beer & Cider Festival 2019. Clear golden amber colour, no head and aroma of tannic apple. Taste is tangy apple, leathery funky, some solvent with fruity, drying earthy tannins. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry tangy tannic finish. Very drinkable. Well worth badgering the bar staff to get from round the back!

500ml bottle drunk at home. Pours gold, crisp but relatively bland taste. Initial fruitiness seems to disappear as you work through leaving you somewhat disappointed. Nice enough but lacking a little something.

Bottle. A clear one, except for a lot of chunks escaping the bottom of the bottle. Pale golden in color. The aroma has a sulphury touch to go with the pears. Sweetish and with some acetone. Pleasant mouthfeel, semi-sweet and nicely carbonated, with flavors of pears, white sugar and some sulphur. Quite drinkable, but a bit too chemical to get a higher rating. 111125
