Bottle from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Salford. Dark clear amber with a head. You can taste the darker fruit in this one, which is a plus as it's quite a dull drink in the grand scheme of things, although drinkable.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from Sainsbury’s Dalston. Pours clear copper with a foamy, light khaki head. Medium sweet flavour with notes of toasted bread, berries, nips of toffee, earth, yeast. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Pretty well balanced to finish, some dry toffee, dried berries, faint cocoa, earth, toast. Quite a classically styled ESA.

500ml bottle. Deep amber in colour, with a lot of fizz, and moderately -sized, off-white, head. A malty bitter, with some caramel sweetness, leafy hops and a pleasantly bitter finish. Fine.

Smooth mild beginning. Slightly grainy. Very dry, bitter, caramel. I miss the Ale aromatic, dry bitter in the finish, dense dry. Nice but not as great as expected.

Bottle from Sainsbury's, Salford. Hazy pale yellow colour -bso it does look like a mix of pineapple and coconut. It tastes like that too with the pineapple providing the ciders sweetness, and the coconut coming to the fore in its aftertaste.

[50cl bottle from my local Sainsbury's] A chestnut coloured pour with a billowing cream head; malty aroma; malty body with a caramel taste; then a woody bitterness. An old fashioned bitter.
