Even by Brickers standards, this one is out there. They apparently put passionfruit in it, but you can't taste that. They also put hoisin sauce in it, and you can very much taste that. The aroma is...well...savoury. It tastes the same. The cider gets annihilated by a mystery savoury character (that's the hoisin sauce) and the end product doesn't make a fucking ounce of sense. Of all the things to put in a cider. Why not just dump a bottle of Squid Brand in there next time? It's bigger umami and far more versatile.

Hazy and pale. Dryish, tannins, lots of apple and the pear lends nuance, dryness, and then the barrel dries it out a bit more. A pear cider rather than a perry, but it's not bad.

Draught @ Brickers. Hazy pale purple. No head. Brown sugar, a touch of berry, tart, somewhat tannic. Oats lend smoothness and flavour... they get the crisp aspect and I appreciate that.

Poured from the tap. Slightly hazy dull blonde with small white head. Crisp green apple, simplistic and boring.

On tap at The Cider House, pours a clear dull golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of crisp apples, plenty of earl grey, and medium sweetness. Flavour is fairly earthy, with light apple skins and gentle acidity. Not much complexity but it's clean and unobjectionable. Okay.

Poured from the tap. Clear pale blonde with no head. Apple skin, touch of ginger, hint of apricot. Wish the flavours came through a little more, a bit of subdued.

Poured from the tap. Dark purple with pink head. Elderberry and lavender. It is slightly “soapy”.

Nice big foam on a medium gold body, modest carbonation. Floral hops on the nose are indeed pilsner-y and I can't really detect any apple. Taste is appley with soft pilsner hops. Easy and smooth, crisp, doing the hybrid apple beer thing extremely well.

Tepid gold body and okay carbonation, no foam. Strong sweet earl grey tea on the nose, soft apple, tea is a little less authentic than I'd hoped. Flavour is heavy tea with soft vanilla notes, vague apple. Carbonation helps to pull it together. Simply adequate.
