Bottle from House of Trembling Madness, online. Pours a clear pale pink with fizzy white head which leaves some bubbles on top. Aroma of rhubarb and custard. I haven't had that in years. Its making me hungry. Taste is sweet with tangy rhubarb, lots of vanilla. Both of these overpower the apples in the background but it is very tasty. Light bodied, refreshing. A good summer drink if in the mood for something sweet and tangy.

Cask at the Red Lion pub with seaviews in Cromer. Clear golden cider, quite strong tasting but its dry textured apple is also strong in both aroma and taste with a sweetness attached.

Box @ Tap and Can. Clear ribena purple appearance. Aroma of blackberries, ribena, very distant parma violet. Flavour profile again presents very little parma violet notes, perhaps a little on the finish but definitely seems to have a one dimensional ribena / blackcurrant character. Expected a little more.
