Cask at Marble Arch Inn, Manchester. A light golden perry with no head. The aroma has notes of pears as well as light notes of wood. The flavor is very sweet with both notes of apples? and pears, leading to a dry finish.

From a polypin at the Portcullis, Clifton, Bristoll 23/07/09. Golden in colour with slight carbonation. I was enjoying the cider festival a lot by the time I sampled this one, so my notes are sparse. Medium dry, with some decent fresh apple juice and a hint of the barnyard. Ok.

At the cider festival, the Royal Oak, Bath 13/06/09. This was at 7.5% ABV. This was the palest drink I have rated - it was vaguely green and looked like a weak elderflower drink with a slight haze. Big dessert pear aroma. Very easy drinking with sweet pear juice to the fore, giving way to a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

At the cider festival, the Royal Oak, Bath 13/06/09. Painfully bright orange - a rival for Thatcher’s Cheddar Valley in the colour stakes. Slightly tart apple aroma, followed by a sweetish flavour and finish. Ok.
