Cask handpump at the Cock Tavern - Hackney. Noted at 5%. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy, white head. Interesting aroma, a little dank, with some rotting pear, herbs, lemon peel. Light to medium sweet flavour with lots of overripe fruit, mellow pear, some green herbs, maybe rosemary, slight citric tang, salty sweat, doughy biscuits. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Finishes with more herbal notes, ripe lemon, dough, impressions of pear, apple skin, pie crust. Quite interesting stuff on the whole, although I wouldn’t say the drinkability is very high.

330ml bottle from Saucy Pears, Worcestor. Thanks Vilma! Pours clear gold, thin white head. Aroma is sweet apple. Taste is initially sweet and viciously dry and tannic. The dry-hopping just prior to bottling was supposed to add citrus and floral notes and, on sipping, I guess there is some detectable although it could be the power of suggestion. Not a bad medium dry, just a bit heavy handed on the dry tannic side.

At the King Charles II, Worcester, 9/12/2015. Deep gold with slight carbonation. A fairly standard, medium dry cider, with solid apple fruit and a touch of funkiness. The advertised hops did not make much impact. Ok.

330ml bottle from Moonshine & Fuggles shop, Ironbridge. Clear pale yellow colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of tangy apple, slight citric & herby, with some funk. Taste is mellow apple, with woody oak, barnyard, tannin and a very light fruity herbal note. Thin slightly oily mouthfeel, light bodied, low to medium carbonation, dry tannic finish. Quite drinkable cider although the hops aren’t very evident.
