Bottle at the Cellar Bar, Mowlam Centre, Swanage. Pity they put feckin ice cubes in it. Musty apply peel aroma. A light and pale gold. No head. Light-medium sour. Some underlying sweetness comes through. Light. Thin, with a soft chalky mouthfeel. Flat carbonation. Long somewhat dry finish. Perfectly pleasant but all a bit too laidback.

Wetherspoon Autumn Beer Festival 2018. Box @ Percy Shaw, Halifax. Hazy straw-blonde with a juicy apple flavour. Has a strength to it, but it does not compromise its taste.

Box @ Stable, Birmingham. Clear, pale straw yellow appearance. Nice medium fruit on the nose. Clean, balanced medium character, pleasantly sweet, nicely fruity, with a nice apple linger and gentle acidity. Nicely rounded, good stuff.

Box @ Stable, Birmingham. Pours unclear reddish orange. Assorted red berries / minty nose. Taste has a quite prominent, pokey mint presence, noticeable cucumber with some berries mingling about. Is this cocktail a thing in bars? Can't imagine why these three elements should ever need to be with each other in a drink.. very odd.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Pinkish golden colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of sweet apple, hints of sulphur. Taste is sweetish, fruity apple, berry hints, sugary, some tartness. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, semi-sweet finish. Quite OK
