Bottle shared in London - thanks to Dani. Pours clear pale yellow with a frothy white head. Not a good cider. Sugary and artificial, with an odd peppery note. Medium bodied, oily, and soft. Sugary, syrupy finish. Not good.

Keg @ Vinomondo, Conwy. Pours a hazed reddish gold. Aroma has light strawberry, apple fruit. Taste is smooth, with medium-sweet strawberry notes, a touch jammy with underlying apple fruit. Not overly sweet. Decent.

Bottle sampled from Cider Cider. Clear yellow with short lasting white head. Strong sweet ginger, light apple pie, soft sugary, light marzipan, ginger candy. Quite sweet, light tart and soft bitter ginger. Over light bodied with low carbonation. More like ginger beer, but not bad at all.
