750ml bottle from Gloucester Services on the M5. Pours deep red with opaque bubbles. Aroma: apple, red grape, fruity. Taste: moderate+ sweet, very prominent red grape, also notes of cherry & raspberry, any apple vibes very much in the background. Light tannins. Dry on the palate. Medium body with low carbonation. Nice!

(Cask at King's Arms, Bethnal Green, London, 20 May 2023) Hazy golden amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, slightly sourish nose with apples, toffee, pears, herbs and a touch of yeast. Fruity taste with notes of apples, grass, toffee, apple peel tannins and a generous acidity. Medium body, dry. Smooth and refreshing with a generous fruit character and a good acidity. Very nice.
