On tap at The Craft Beer Co - St Mary Axe, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out farty funk, crisp apple skins, and farmhouse notes. Flavour is thankfully less fart-like, with light sweetness, crisp apple skins, and gentle farmhouse notes. Farmhouse-y and sweet but not particularly complex. Okay.

On cask at Three Judges, pours a hazy bright golden orange, almost no head. Aroma brings out farmhouse notes, apple core, and light apple skins. Flavour is lightly funky, with sour apples, apple skins, apple core, and some farmhouse notes. A little too sour and served too warm even for a cask. It's alright.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a cloudy peach with minimal white head. Aroma has peaches and apples. In the mouth it is smooth and creamy. Starting off sweet with apricots and apples peel, Later is becomes sharp with crab apples and alcoholic strength. Finish is dry and warming. Overall a bit too sweet for me, but it is very good. Dangerously drinkable.
