Box @ Stable, Birmingham. Pour a misty gold, plasticine aroma. Taste is surprisingly balanced, drinkable and not as harsh as expected for a rum box cider. Nice sweet apple fruit integration with sweet light rum and citric orange. Quite nice.

[First rating, 4/10/16, RB 4/1/6/3/10 (2.4)] Keg at the Greyfriar, Reading. Extremely pale yellow, like tap water that someone waved an elderflower at. From a distance. Smells of nail varnish remover and pear drops. Taste is tinned pear and sugar. It’s generally sweet; there is a little apple skin dryness but not anywhere near enough to balance the sugar. It’s not great, but it’s drinkable. [Second rating, 13/7/18, RB 7/2/7/3/13 (3.2)] Draught at the Outlook, Reading. Hazy pale yellow. Sweet tinned pear juice with a little tannic skin and - oddly - some dried parmesan. Enjoyed this a lot more than the previous time I had it. Don't know why. Never quite got the hang of ciders and perries; sometimes I like them and sometimes I don't. This was one of the "like" times! Entered score is the average of all ratings.
