Draught at the Cradock Arms, Leicester. Deep gold, fairly clear, no head. Aroma is pure sweet applesauce. Tastes so sweet, more apple but also some caramel, with a short finish. Pretty light body, still. It is okay but too sweet for me.

Gravicask, Cider Bar, 1/3 pint shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Clear pale reddish body, poor lacing, a few patches on the surface. Mid-dry berry skins on the nose. Moderate flavours of sweet berries and dry rhubarb. Ends sweet. Sweet soft drink impression. Just about drinkable. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).

Gravicask, 1/3 pint shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Bubbly white head, no lacing, hazy yellow-gold body. Modest peachy nose. Vague moments of mid-sweet apples and peaches to the taste profile. Mid-sweet fruity ending. Soft drink impression. About drinkable. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).

Bladder Bag at the GBBF Winter 2023 Festival, day 2 at Burton On Trent Town Hall, 17/02/23. Pinkish pour with a thin crimson covering. Nose is tangy strawberries, grains, straw, tannins. Taste comprises light rhubarb stalk, tangy strawberries, any apple presence is rather hidden, straw. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Not bad for a fruit cider, not the sweet mess that the others at this festival were, the ingredients here kept it a touch tarte and drinkable.
