Cask @ Fox @ Goose, Hebden Bridge. Clear gold and dry tasting which negates the flavours which the fruity nose threatens.

From a polypin at the London Drinker festival, 11/03/10. Dryish apple aroma with a hint of the barnyard. Flavour was of tart skins and cores with a dryish finish. Drinkable, if not memorable.
