Sampled @ GBBF day 1. Clear pale yellow color. Smell and taste sweet apples, super ripe sweet apples. Very nice actually, cause it doesn’t have too much sugar. Nice. [3]

Bag-in-a-box at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Slightly hazy pale gold. Dry, tannic apple skins. Bit of cardboard. Driest I’ve had at the festival, drier than I like. Very thin and watery too. Poor, verging on unpleasant. Didn’t even bother finishing a third.
