Bottle at The Shed, Seaton. Huge aroma of apple cider (appley) with decent appearance, fitting profile for the area. Taste is of apple cider and a slight malt vinegar. Palate is a but pub floor but very quaffable. Really enjoyed this one, very fresh! 8-4-7-3-15 Bottle at home from shop in Beer. Same as above with slightly fresher palate but more see through and less special (occasion I suppose). 8-5-6-3-14

Bottle from Woods Village Store, Colaton Raleigh. Amber with a small glow and a very thin head. Has a surprisingly light drinking texture for its strength, almost (but not quite) thin tasting, with a pleasant fruitiness in both aroma and taste.

500ml bottle from Tuckers Maltings. Pours clear red-amber with a decent creamy head. Aromas of red fruit, toffee. Lightly sour. Taste is more of the same, building sour and oaky. Bit of an odd one, not sure it’s meant to be sour. Nice enough though.

50cl bottle from a local garden centre. A cloudy pale amber pour with a billowing white head, that falls back quickly; aroma of damp straw; biscuity body, with some yeast and sweet grains; and a light grassy bitterness with a trace of lemon. It’s unusual to find a bottle conditioned bitter at such a low ABV, and unfortunately this isn’t a good example.
