Keg at BrewDog Bristol. Very clear gold, with no visible carbonation. Apple aroma is one would expect with cider, but there's a vinegar and plastic note to the scent. Tastes sweet/sour with a chemical aftertaste. Not the best cider I've had.

On tap at the brewery Bermondsey. As Graff Apple Pale Ale. Hazy deep amber russet colour lasting white head. i thought an interesting mix of a sherbet earthy pale ale and a medium cider. Certainly drinkable. I guess an ale yeast used. Earthy pale ale. Quite exciting mix in the mouth. Oddly good.

Hawkes. Keg. Very light haze on this amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin bolts, mildly sweet and with a trace of caramel. Nice cidery apple, a little floral apple. Light crisp minerally finish. Tasty, a rare thing, a good apple beer!

Keg at Hawkes. It pours clear rich amber with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, soft, sweet, rioe apple, apple pie and bread. The taste is dry, bitter, toasty grain, tart apple, apple skin, earth, tannin and bread with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice real apple character. Good.

Tap. Purple color with pinkish head. Aroma is cassis, sweet, no apples, but a bit funk. Taste is sweet cassis, a bit tart, but the sweetness is stronger. Refreshing and fun to drink, but too sweet for me.

Tap. Rather clear amber-orange color with no head. Aroma is apple skin, some funk. Taste is sweet apple skin, funky. High carbonation that is quite sharp. Good Cider, despite being kinda sweet.
