Keg at O’Neills, Reading. Because it was the only thing I hadn’t tried before. Looks thin, gold and fizzy, and tastes that way too. Tastes artificial through and through- the sickly sweetness is that of artificial sweetener and applep- flavoured sweets. One feels that there may be a brief squirt of economy apple juice in there purely to avoid lawsuits, but that may be the only apple it’s seen. I’ll say this for macro lagers, they may taste bad but at least they don’t taste strongly. This macro cider tastes quite strongly of bad- it’s possibly the worst cider I’ve ever had. Wish I’d stuck to the Guinness.

Keg at the Skylark (JDW) LHR T123, 03/05/13. Clear pale orange/golden with lots of carbonation evident, very thin white head. Nose is faint apple, sugars, light straw, artificial notes. Taste comprises apple drops, sugars, straw, slightly tarte orchard fruit. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation, dry in the finish. Sweetish slight chemical/artificial notes pretty - meh!
