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.
