Cloudy brown colour like a muddy puddle (I added a photo). No carbonation. Funky aroma with a hint of straw or silage. Earthy notes at the start and sour throughout. An acidic hit at the end makes it dry and warming. This was the bag in the box variety and my review reqd very different from the other reviews. Bought at the Chepstow beer and cider festival 2024.

Extremely dry and has a very full and strong taste. Not one of my favourite gwatkins I’d have to say. Wouldn’t choose again. But that is down to my personal preference towards a more medium taste.

Copper coloured, moderate haziness and lightly sparkling. Fruity aroma with some farmyard. Flavour has dried fruit.
