Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Golden colour, thin bubbly rim and aroma of apple, pulpy, caramel. Taste is tart, tangy, appley, fruity, honey hints, some caramel and funk, with soft tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying finish. Quite drinkable.

Bottle from Cobbett's, Dorking. Aroma has apple vinegar. Clear light gold. No head. Medium-heavy sour. Dry. Tannins. Vinegary. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Too dry for me to wanna chug it down.

Takeaway 2 pints retrieved from Cobbett's cellar so presume it came from a bag in a box? Aroma is sour and dry, a tad vinegary, but with a hint of sweetness. Clear brown-gold. Bubbly white head soon recedes. Medium-heavy sour. Vinegar. Something tannin-esque. Dry. Underlying earthy peel. Light. Thin. Slightly chalky. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry finish. A palate cleanser. Crisp. Dry. But, for me, not too much going on.
