Beamquake Graf is an awesome fusion of brewers’ and cider makers’ skills. An ale fermented with cider apples to give a crisp refreshing finish.

330ml bottle. Produced by Windsor & Eton’s side project, Uprising Craft Brewing, that concentrates on modern and experimental styles. Produced in collaboration with Sandford Orchards cider maker.
L: Cloudy, burnt orange colour with an off-white, short-lived head and spotty lacing.
S: Pale malt and apple juice.
T: There’s a definite scrumpy flavour - subtle rather strong - quite yeasty and almost sour.
F: Light body, flat mouthfeel and dry.
O: Can see why this is described as an apple beer. It seems to be a golden ale/cloudy cider hybrid. I think it almost works but its flat mouthfeel lets it down.

L- Slightly hazy, a rustic orange hue to it, pours with 2mm white head.
S- It has a sour note, almost sour citrus. That's all I get.
T- Oh my, it has a sour note, but no citrus now.
F- On the first swallow I got a notably bitter/dry brush down the back of my throat. After, the feel is more thin and hoppy dry.
O- The apples don't stand out for me, but I expect they're the source of the sourness. This beer might be refreshing on a scorcher of a day such as today but... arguably that's beer as a utility, rather than source of pleasure. This isn't for me, I wouldn't buy it again.
Bought from Waitrose, the branch below John Lewis @ Oxford Street, W1. 330ml bottle BB: 1/10/21 £1.60
I was curious to see this beer is brewed for Uprising by the Windsor+Eton Brewery. The former style/brand themselves as 'rising up against the state and monarchy', a graphic of a crow swooping in to grab a dazzling crown appears on this bottle. Beers from them include 'Caught by the fuzz [police]', 'Scumbag Maggot', Treason, Wasteland, and White Riot. Yeah, edgy eh?
Coincidentally the latter style/brand W+E Brewery paint a different image. It's very Establishment/Monarchy etc., trad looking Brit lables that I'd expect tourists think are 'just so quaint'. Their beers include: Conqueror, Eton Rifles, Father Thames, Guardsman, Magna Carta... and so on.
Then the plot thickens, the two breweries are located in adjacent units in the same Windsor business park. Their W+E signage (via Google maps/street-view) is the same, the planting out front their units is the same. So you could amble less than 5 steps from a flattering mural of Harry+Meghan to the next door poster for 'Uprising, Rise, take the crown'. It's all a bit 'having your cake and eating it' given it's all under the single of the single W+E company... hmmm.
