Cask-conditioned at the Orchard, Bristol 08/05/09. as "Aardcore". Gold with no head. Sweet apple juice up front with some dry pips, core and yeast to finish. Ok. Has the best pump clip ever - made up by the Oscar winning Aardman animations across the road from the pub - a salivating, big mouthed apple.
