Box @ Leeds Station Wetherspoon, Leeds. Clear yellow coloured cider. Slightly dry, but always crisp, with an interesting spirit-like apple fruitiness.

On tap at Elizabeth Station, pours a hazy pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out medium sweet apples along with subdued whisky. Flavour is likewise pretty mellow on the whiskey, with medium sweetness from the apples upfront, light apple skins, and fairly high residual sweetness, venturing into cloying territory. Would like more whiskey. Unexciting and lacking complexity, and too cloying, but easy to drink.

BIAB at William Stead JDW Darlington. Yellow gold colour, bubbly white foam head and juicy apple aroma. Taste is fruity apple, mellow juicy, sugary sweet with some slight apple skin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dryish and residual sweet at the finish. Quite OK.

330ml bottle. Clear pale red colour, no head. Aroma: strawberries, over-ripe apples, odd tartness. Taste: strawberries and cooked apples, very sweet. Light-medium body, lively carbonation. Not as nice as I thought it could be.

330ml bottle. Clear pale straw colour, no head. Aroma and flavour prominently features ginger, with very sweet apples. Initially didn’t like how much ginger was in this but the flavours grew on me the more I drank. Light-medium body, moderate carbonation, heavy sweetness could be dialled down a touch to make it more drinkable. Ok.

Bottle from Tesco Danestone. It pours clear yellow with no head whatsoever. The aroma is bitter - sweet, earthy, musty, funk, apple pie, vanilla, earth and oak. The taste is crisp, sweetish, apple crumble, vanilla, apple tango, subtle whisky (I personally would have preferred more) and golden syrup with a dryish finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. I fine this a bit too sweet if truth be told. If I remember rightly I had this once before on cask, which was a fair bit better. OK.
