Bladder bag at the Crown, Hazlemere, 27/08/18. Clear golden with little in the way of a head. Nose is bitter sweet apple, light wood, straw, grains. Taste comprises apple skin, caramel, orchard fruits, grains, light tannins, apple pie. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close with a bitter sweet edge. Ok cider but nothing I'd revisit.

Mini-box @ The Abbey. Pours hazed orange, a geuinely bizarre taste, with pickled onion and almost no apple fruit coming through. Exceptionally dry, light on the palate, really odd.

Mini Box @ The Abbey. Pours clear pale, light fruity nose, taste is oily, slick, with soft pear light apple fruit, a little sticky sweet, not particularly vibrant or clear. Easy-drinking I guess, juicy.

Box bag at PoW, Farnborough. Floral aroma before the tart rhubarb aroma kicks in.light orange. No head. Not very sour. More sugary sweet. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft to flat carbonation. Abrupt finish. OK but not tart at all, more alcopop.

(Cask at Lyric, Soho, London, 28 May 2018) Hazy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of sweet pears, green apples and white bread. Fruity, sweet taste with pears, yellow apples, bread, dough, lemon peel and a sweetish finish. Medium body, quite sweet. On the sweet side, but tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.

Bag in a box at Yard of Ale St Peters, Hazy Cloudy thick red gold orange colour lasting white bubbles. Sultana and apple aroma. Some sweetness in the mouth. Some dryness on finish. Fleshy fruit mouthfeel. Hides abv well. Not very funky but there is some tannin to attack the gums. I ended up respecting it rather than liking it.
