Bag in Box at George Croydon as Hallets Draught, Oak Aged Vintage Cider at 6%. It pours clear pale gold with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, earthy, musty, apple pie & ice cream and candy. The taste is crisp, bitter - sweet, apple skin, tart bite, gooseberry, vanilla, oak, honey, tannins and fruit pie with a dry, wood finish. Medium bodied and still. Quite nice overall, but edges towards a touch too sweet for me.

Sampled at THT June tasting. Clear pale golden, no head. Smells like macerated apples. Tastes pretty much the same, apples, sour fruit and sugar. Medium to light body with a low carbonation and a sweet aftertaste.

Cask handpump at the Cock Tavern - London. Pours clear, pale yellow-gold. The aroma is quite restrained, with hind of sweat, pear peel, green apple. Light sweet flavour, faintly musty, with relaxed impressions of pear, faint grass, lemon, damp straw. Light bodied and soft. Lightly acidic on the finish, with a touch of salty swear, more restrained pear, light bitter pear peel, hay, citrus rind. Perhaps just a little too restrained overall, but still decent.

Bag in a box from the Devonshire Arms, Cambridge. Yellow/orange, noticeably hazy and quite flat. Musty cider vinegar in the gentle aroma. Tastes quite sweet and refreshing but without the ’bite’ I was hoping for. It’s watery on the palate. OK.
