330ml can from Portland Sunday Market, drunk from the can whilst sheltering from the rain. Aroma is sweet, artificially flavoured. Taste is artificial, commercially sweet, with green apple and a light drying close. Awful.

Tap at Imazato. Pale to medium gold. Pineapple mostly in the nose. Sweet pineapple flavor with maybe a touch of mango but not much. A bit tart, some apple, creamy. Decent enough.

Kinda like tropical punch in cider form. Very sugary sweet with little apple shining through. Some caramalized sugars. A light booze dryness in the finish. Sugar sweet fruit cider.

Bomber from Cap Tap. Pours very, very light gold with some white bubbles and smear. Light aromas of pear and cinnamon. Near med body. Flavor starts with nice cinnamon and pear, but then something goes awry. Maybe the cinnamon is too strong. The pear is sort of mangled. After a pause I am sure there is too much cinnamon for me. Wouldn’t have thought that probable. Cinnamon usually works well. It’s not totally dry either. This needs a new approach IMHO.
