BIAB at Newcastle Beer & Cider Festival 2024. Golden colour, bubbly thin white foam head and aroma of apple, fruity. Taste is sweet, apple, fruit, baked apple notes, with some light acidity and drying tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, medium drying finish. Quite OK.

Can from a deli in Ripley. Aroma has a bitter peel streak with a light sweet edge. Clear light gold. Fizzy foamy translucent white head has a short shelf life. Initial dry bitterness is swiftly followed by sweet juice. Although the dryness is there throughout. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice if unexciting.

Bottle from Waitrose's Longstock Farm Shop in Dorset. Gold coloured with a light sparkle. Sweetish with some dry apple skins and a light farmyard funk. Just a touch of fresh garden mint in the finish. Pleasant and easy drinking, maybe could have taken a little more garden mint to make it more distinctive. My wife rather enjoyed it though.
