5.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Box sample thanks to Grumbo! Pours a misty vimto red. Aroma of assorted red berries, blackcurrant perhaps. Taste is surprisingly watery for such a strong cider, gentle berry character, finishing dry. Not a huge amount going on here, and little in the way of fleshy apple notes.
