Cask at the Red Squirrel taproom, Amersham, 09/07/16. Light haze on a pale yellow to orange pour with little in the way of a head. Nose is light ginger, straw, apple skins, faint spice, grain. Taste comprises apple peel, light smoke, faint chilli, grass, ginger, mango chutney. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Ok novelty kind of a cider, fine in small doses but couldn’t take a lot on board.

500 ml clear bottle at the Flying Horse, Gatwick Airport. ABV is 4.5%. Pale golden colour, sparkling, short-lived white head. Strong aroma of cider apples, hints of sulphites. Medium sweet flavour of cider apples and sweet eating apples. Okay, but forgettable.

On tap at the Crown & Trumpet, Broadway. Slightly hazy straw colour. Marmalade surprisingly evident in both the whiff and the taste. It tends more towards the sweet commercial thin shred stuff than the decent chunky bitter home-made stuff, but it works ok against the sweetish eating appley cider behind. It’s quite thin but I think this helps offset the sweetness and leaves it as a light, refreshing and pleasant cider. It is however, a little polite at times and it did leave me wondering what it’d be like if you made a souped-up version with rough scrumpy and bitter Olde English-style marmalade.

Cask @ Bridge Bier Huis, Burnley. Amber coloured cider. Dryish in the mouth, but with an apple sweetness in its taste. Its strength is notable too.
