1.) Cask at the Drayman’s Son, Ely. Light yellow, midnight clear. Apple skin, sweat and plastic with a doughy quality. Odd but interesting. Can I smell angels’ tears? Bittersweet and sharp taste. Asserts itself very nicely. Body is thin but it works for this drink. Pretty good. [3.2] 2.) Cask at the Townhouse, Ely. Much mote cloudy, with a simpler appley scent. Taste is sour/sweet with a harsh tangy finish. Very nice. Almost a completely different cider. [3.4]

First drink at the GBBF. Pickled pig oak cask pours a lightly milky gold with a soft Apple nose with very mild woodsiness. The taste is semi-dry but not so complex.

Cask at The Kingston Arms, Cambridge 15.02.12 Pours mid yellow slight haze tiny bit of white head at rim. Fruity, little bit of nail varnish, great appley tang, I guess that there are some dessert apples in here, drying towards the end, fresh and juicy with a nice clackiness to it. Like this.

Polycask at The Chequers, Little Gransden, Cambs’ 24.09.10 Hughie had informed me that this was on. Pours lemon yellow with a little haze. Aroma was strange it was one part sharp pear to another part old peoples homes, and believe me I’ve been in enough old peoples establishments over the years so can be quite confident of getting that right. Touch sharp in the mouth and whilst not great far better than the aroma suggested, different. A4 A4 T7 P3 Ov12 3.0

Bag in a box gravity at Reading BF 2010. Haze silver yellow. Farty perry aroma. Really sharp in mouth. Hmmm, lovely perry, good sharpness. Some tannin on end, some sweetness. Yummy
