Box @ Post Office Vaults, Birmingham (7.0%). Says Medium on the board, but I suspect this is probably the Medium Dry, and can't be bothered researching. Pours gold with a light mist. Soft apple fruit on the nose. Taste is pure juice with a good medium-dry character and soft tannic tang. Straightforward pure juice cider, no sour or off-notes to speak of. Not bad.
