Bag in a box Pours a lightly hazed pale yellow colour with no head. The aroma is pulpy pear with a light citric note. A moderately tart taste, pear and light vinegary flavours with a light drying tartness in the finish.

Keg (I presume ... came out of a tap but maybe they have it hooked up to a bladder bag ... didnt ask but seemed pretty chilled ?) at Ascot Brewing taproom, Camberley, 16/08/21. Cleat golden with a white cap that soon dissipates. Nose is tangy apple skins, light funk, grass, orchard wood, musty apple. Taste comprises bitter sweet apple, tannins, funk, farmyard notes, hay bale. faint smoke. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Decent funked up cider.

Bag in a box at Horse & Groom, Chobham. Ribera style aroma. Looks like Ribena too. No head. Blackberry sweetness with a sour cider edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Sticky. Flat carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. I was warned that this was sweet and to be fair it's not as sweet as the aroma also suggested it would be. It's fine. Boozy Ribena.

Cask (or was it a bag-in-box hidden away in the cellar?) at Horse & Groom, Chobham. Sour edge apple peel. Clear gold. No head. Light-medium sour and gains sourness into the finish. Gets vinegary. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on oily. Flat carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish. Strong stuff. Doesn't overdo things buy no room for sweetness. It's alright but feel it would be better for cooking or such like.

Cask at Horse & Groom Micropub, Chobham. 5.0% now. Sweet apple peel aroma. Slightly opaque pale gold. No head. Initial sourness before honey sweetness comes through. Underlying bitterness is apparent into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. Decent stuff - a range of flavours as you supp it.

[ As Tutts Clump Rhubarbjack ].
ABV: (19.5)%. Clear medium to dark red - orange amber colour with virtually no head. Aroma is moderate to heavy apple, rhubarb, alcohol, intensive apples, rich, alcohol - glue - phenol, maybe also some oxidide apples, caramelized apples. Initial flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and light to moderate acidic, finish flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet with a long duration, initial flavor is harsh something, glue - phenol - alcohol, sharp, so IMO: this initial flavor is really not good - must likely infected. Finish flavor is caramelized apple - caramelized apple sugar - caramelized apple syrup, apple syrup, rich apple, dry. IMO: finish flavor is quit nice but very hard to drink because of the initial flavors. Body is medium to full, texture is creamy - syrupy, carbonation is flat, finish feel is warming, dry and light alcoholic. (20200718)
