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.

Bag in Box at The George, Croydon. It pours pretty clear pale gold with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is earth, funky, apple pie, vanilla, apple skin, earth, musty, gooseberry, whitecurrant and sherbet. The taste is quite mellow, dry, tart, apple skin, white grape, gooseberry, tannin, oak with a firmly dry finish. Medium bodied and still. Nice tart and dry. Akin to a dry white wine.
