Cask at the William Dampier, Yeovil, 13/07/16. Translucent yelloe with a moderate off white head of bubbles. Nose is sweet, pear drops, straw. Taste comprises pear jus, apple skin, light varnish, straw. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Ok for a perry if a little overly sweet for my liking.

Box @ Leeds Station Wetherspoon, Leeds. Very pale golden cider. Tangy with an initial sweet burst, it becomes drier thereafter. There’s candy in its nose.

BIAB at William Stead JDW Darlington. Pale yellow colour, no head and sickly floral peary aroma. Taste is pear, candy, sugary sweet plus some sour lemon rind. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry tangy pear finish. OK.

Bag in a box @ Stable Birmingham. Pours murky unclear pissy yellow. Mushy apple fruit aroma. Taste is smooth, weak apple with lightly coarse tongue-sucking action and a slight tangy prick on the finish. A bit mucky, lacks clarity.
