Tap at Darlington Festival of Thrift. Golden colour, no head and fruity apple aroma. Taste is tangy apple, sweetish, fruity with some apple skins, oak and light tannins. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry finish. Quite drinkable.

Draught @ 2015 Red Eye Cider Festival, The Salopian Bar, Shrewsbury. Pours clear translucent pink. Light breezy berry fruit aroma. Taste is artificial strawberry ice-pops, with some assorted berry influence. A touch watery. Alright, but had better.

Half pint BIAB @ The Salopian Bar, Shrewsbury. Pours clear amber. Wood varnish aroma. Taste is rich, golden and big flavoured. Slight dryness coming through but definitely a good perry complexity present. Very decent.

Re-rating elegant and smooth perry at the White Horse in Clun. Previous rating on cask in Dartmouth. 7+2+7+4+15 =3.5 Golden with no head and no bubbles. Probably smells and tastes as much of apples as of pears. Lovely palate, rich and tangy texture and refreshing, despite it being a sweeter than usual Perry.

Cask @ Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Clear pale gold with a very light drinking and smooth in the palate texture. Quite sweet with its apple, edging towards a medicinal sugary flavour with its cinnamon flavours.
