Polycask at Banbury Beer Festival, Thursday 8th May 2014 Clear gold, quite a tang described as med/sweet by the producer but more medium, not a lot of sweetness, a real prickly appleyness. V.good. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

500ml bottle from Hereford Cider Museum. Pours clear gold with a fresh-pressed cider apple nose. A light, still blend that seems more Medium Dry than Dry and with a light, soothing fruitiness from the Frederick apples and zero tannins. Summery and refreshing.
