Box @ Stable, Birmingham. Pours a pink-tinged gold. Aroma has some light strawberry notes, citrus. Taste is not overtly strawberries or lime, some light berry moments with an almost menthol-like side. I generally like Snails Bank's fruit ciders but this is a little odd.

18/1/2019. Bottle from Hopsters, Ipswich. Pours amber with a red tint and minimal head. Aroma of strawberries, lime and stewed apples with a hint of clove. Medium to heavy sweetness, very light bitterness, hint of tartness. Medium body, sticky texture, soft carbonation. Finishes very sweet and artificially fruity, clinging to the inside of the mouth. First one I've had from Snails Bank that I didn't like.
