draught in the cellars of Broome Farm, out of wooden vats, August 2009. Clear golden colour. Fruity-sour nose. Fruity with a very low sweetness and typical sourish Bramley apple flavours. Very nice indeed.

Bottle from Oakchurch Farm Shop, Staunton on Wye, Herefordshire, consumed 19-10-09 Pours pale gold some light wood and alcohol on nose but also strangely a bit dusty. Taste is also a bit dusty, flat and appley and whilst it doesn’t shine its ok. Just checked the date and noted its about 10 months out of date. A5 A3 F6 P3 Ov11 2.8

From the polypin at the Orchard, Bristol 25/10/09. Hazy gold in colour, with slight carbonation. Musty, dry apple fruit aroma. Flavour was similar, with plenty of tannins, some apple skin and dry, peppery finish. Good.

Polypin at the Orchard, Bristol 13/09/09. Pale gold in colour, almost clear. Fresh apple juice aroma with some dryness. Flavour had a lemony edge, with a touch more fruit and lingering dry finish. Ok.

Cask at Merton Summer Beer and Cider Festival, 18-07-09 Pours gold with haziness. Tastes a little on the rough side as the name might suggest. Apple is there, its tangy, edging toward the drier side of medium dry, not the best from Ross on Wye that I’ve had but its ok. A6 A3 F8 P4 Ov14 3.0
