22/7/2018. Bag in a box at the Wor Local Micropub, Prudhoe. Pours hazy very pale yellow with minimal head. Aroma of pineapple, apple, grapefruit, lemon, caramel and a hint of mint. Quite heavy sweetness, touch of citrus sour. Moderate mody, slight oily texture, flat carbonation. Pineapple starts strongly and the pink grapefruit comes through later. Not sure to start but was a grower.

Box @ The Pub, Todmorden. Glowing gold and very sweet, very tangy, with both fruits very evident. The strawberry is clean and fresh tasting.

Box @ Cellar, Chester. Pours a deep red, lots of raspberry on the nose. Has quite an appealing creamy raspberry ripple character with more than a hint of Mr Kiplings vienesse whirl about it. Really surprised to like this as much as I did, perhaps because it tastes different to any other raspberry flavoured cider I've tried.
