26/5/2019. Bottle from Hopsters, Ipswich. Pours pale yellow gold with minimal head. Aroma of sweet dried packet mango and light semi-sweet apple. Extremely sweet. Sticky texture. Couldn’t really enjoy this one with it being just too sweet and quite artificial.

Appearance - golden amber and with only a small amount if carbonation. Nose - fresh and slightly baked apples. Like apple tart with the apples cut chunky. Taste - more apples that are tart and sweet at the same time. Palate - tangy and sweet. Still enough apple acid to clean the palate. Overall - good acid in the apples.

Draught @ Spitting Feathers Brewery Tap, Chester. Pours gold with a light mist. Gentle medium apple fruit on the nose. Taste is moderately light, gentle fruit, soft juice, generally clean, nice apple character but could do with a fleshier apple presence.
