Panda at home, thanks to Danlo - Cheers Ed, 01/01/23. Pale, almost translucent yellow, with a fast collapsing white head. Nose is sweet apple pulp, sugars, light booze, apple pie. Taste comprises sweet apples, sugars, hint of pear, tannins. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Decent for the high boost and comes in way below 8.4% ... surprised it scores so lowly ... like a high end tramp cider in essence.

Big litre bottle from the source. It pours clear very pale straw yellow with a couple of bubbles on top. The aroma bis sweet and juicy, tangy apple, apple cordial, some mellow sourness, sherbet, sour green, chewits and a touch of apple. The taste is quite soft upfront, sweet, juicy, tangy, apple cordial, apple skin, touch of pucker, some oiliness, sour green sour chewits, slick and alcohol which creeps up on you with a finish that fries out. Medium to Full, flat but not not dead with a touch of oiliness. Thankfully not overly sweet has a lovely tanginess to it. Given the last reviews from 14 years ago(!) I imagine they have improved this beverage. Very enjoyable.
