Polypin at Merton Summer Beer Festival 05-07-07 Tried this before the festival started. Poured pale in colour, little bit sweet, Pear flavours but these were a bit thin seemed to lack a bit in all quarters.

275ml bottle from Hogs Back brewery shop. Silver gold cloudy colour with thin white head. Cider vinegar aroma moderate apple juice. Baked apples. More apple juice in mouth, but verges towards the vinegary on the finish. Not very pleasant.

Cask at Merton Beer Festival, Oxfordshire, July 7th and 8th 2006. Mmmhh just when I was becoming a cider convert having loved the two Dunkerton ciders on offer, along comes this number which really wasn’t my thing. Pale yellow in colour, and with a musty appley smell, whilst it tasted much lighter and with less of the appley kick than the Dunkerton pair I found this a little too dry for my liking and was suprised that it was down as medium dry, there was nothing particularly wrong with it and it sold very well it’s just not my thing.

Merton Beer Festival Sep’ 2004. Hazy yellow colour, nice refreshing apple aroma, tastes very good I really like the use of Russets and Cox’s two of my favourite apple varieties, nice medium dry cider.

(Bottle 27,5 cl) Hazy, pale golden. Herbal, medicinal nose. Light in body with strange - but fresh - notes of ginger. The apples are rather subdued. Dry, lightly tart finish. 220106

(Bottle 27,5 cl) Hazy, pale golden. Fresh and very fruity apple aroma. Lovely apple flavours with some floral, almost perfumy, notes. Wee underlying sweetness. Dry but not overwhelmingly tart finish. Nice. 220106

(Bottle 27,5 cl) Hazy, murky golden. Very tart and fresh nose - vinous like a very dry white wine. Intense, sharp acidity - no sugars to be detected here. Gueuze-like, vinegarish finish. But definitely quenching. 220106
