From a polypin at the London Drinker festival 11/03/10. Hazy gold with slight carbonation. Tart pear juice aroma with some yeastiness. Flavour was similar with some juice up front and a lingering dry finish. Good, but lacking in complexity.

Bottled from bag in a box at Rare Breeds BF 08. The one I had said 7% but seems to be about the same. Islay cask style aroma. Peaty. Not my favourite as anyone on this site will know. I mean the base cider is fine, but I just don’t like Islay whisky. Nothing wrong with it, but for me, a drain pour.
