[i] Polypin at National Winter Beer Festival, Manchester 2008 [/i] Pours a pale straw colour with some haze, there’s quite a soft acidity on the nose with a hint of sourness. The taste was initially sour with some smokiness and also a preserved lemonyness, quite tasty but not as good as Loz’s from Olivers.

Clowdy yellow, with a light cider like nose, sweet with just a touch drying and very little hint of pear.

Bottled bright from a bag in the box and enjoyed on the train home from Planet Thanet BF 2007. Cloudy green silver gold colour, no head. Cheddar cheese aroma. Some apple/pear aroma. Some cheese/pear juice in mouth. Oddly cheddary finish. Slightly dry. Not entirely bad, but not enough pear. Cheddar cheese is distinctive though.

Bottle picked up from mum at Worcester Beer Festival Aug 06. Pours a pale golden in fact more pale yellow than golden. The nose is very rummy owing to the barrels that it is aged in, and yet this didn’t overun the taste which was still fresh and relatively crisp and with the apples still shining through. Really enjoyed this cider.

Cask gravity dispense at London Drinker BF 2006. Cloudy gold colour with no head. Bit petroly (acetone actually thanks Chris) and rubber with some pear. Good fruit juice develops as it goes on with a citric finish. Quite juicy once you are past the chemical acetone aroma. Nice finish
