Bladder bag at GBBF'19, day four, 09/08/19. Light golden with a small crown of white bubbles. Nose is tangy apples, wood, straw, grains. Taste comprises apple core, light funk, vinous touch, hedgerow. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Decent.

Cask at GBBF 2019. Not sure which one it was. Slightly hazy, golden orange. Light acetone, manure, funk, apple, some straw in the nose. Acidic, a touch of vinegar, medium tannins, funky ass with lots of aceton and maybe a bit mousy. Some sweet fruit.

Based on the descriptions I am guessing this is what I had at GBBF 2019 as their labeling - Farmhouse Cider (Straw Pressed) - does not appear to be accurate. Medium sweet but with a spirit vinegary edge to it. Nice enough.

Many thanks to McTapps for this sample! Very dry and sourish cider. Extremely dry apples, very fruity-sour with tart hints. Light in body, easy to drink. Sourish-fruity apples with hints of tannins on the tongue. Very refreshing, but not too deep in aroma.

Many thanks to McTapps for this sample! Extremely sour vinegar-like beginning. Vinegar-apples, wood, but no brandy or any other pleasant aroma. Sour woody vinegar with hints of apples. This cidery might have a hygienically problem...

Vielen Dank an McTapps für dieses Probe. Ganz übler Geruch nach holzigem Nagellack-Entferner. Macht gar keine Lust auf den ersten Schluck. Der Cider ist grausam. Absolut übel sauer (schmeckt umgeschlagen), holzig-ekelig, kein Rum, kein großer Apfel-Geschmack, einfach nicht trinkbar.

From cask. Pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is dry apple zesty. Dry sulphorish. Citric, tart, sulphorish and dry. Lingering zesty dry finish.

Sampled @ GBBF day 2. Hazy yellow color, no head. Smell and taste sourish, apple peel, apples, quite dry. Enjoyable cider, but nothing exceptional.
