Bottle, almost no head, clear lightish yellow color, aroma and flavor of ginger and detergent with some apples behind,quite sweet but a light complementing sourness. A bit foul and not easy to drink.

Very nice sweet/light tart apples; lemon/honey; herbal/floral tea/light spice. Sweet balanced finish, light carb. Very drinkable and robust.

Parking lot bottle in Anchorage with BeerandBlues2. Clear golden color, few bubbles. Aroma has vanilla and apple. Taste has apple flesh and light vanilla. Barrel is subtle, which is probably a good thing.

Keg at the Bootlegger, High Wycombe, 27/12/15. Clear light golden with a decent off white covering that retains well for a cider. Nose is tangy apple, straw, light smoke, subtle whisky. Taste comprises apple orchard, light sugar, straw, whisky vibes. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Decent cider, the whisky dumbs down the sweetness. Decent.

BIAB @ JDW Shrewsbury Hotel, Shrewsbury. Pours clear pale gold. Turps aroma, taste follows. Tastes like I should be stripping my paint brushes with it. Couldn’t finish.
