Clear deep pink with a little to no head and a fruit cordial aroma, majoring on berry fruit. Light and a little fizzy, it’s a berry fruit juice with some dry tartness, presumably from the cranberry and maybe pomegranate

Bottle from ASDA Supermarket, Manchester. Yellow-gold in colour. Certainly lemony, I can only presume the other fruit provides the sweetness here as there's no citric bitterness.

Can: Poured a pinkish clear with a bubble white head. Aroma is fruity blend, pomegranate, raspberries, and apples. Taste is sweet fruits, raspberries dominate, light pomegranate twang, and apples. MrsSHIG would have loved this one if she wasn't taking in theater in London!

Can from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Big raspberry aroma. What do pomegranates smell like? Clear ruby coloured. A few floaters for a head. Sweet with a hint of dry sourness. Ras ras ras berry. Light bodied. Thin. A touch sticky. Fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. Yummy alcopop.

Bottle from ASDA, Halifax. Red in colour. Fairly sweet tasting with its fruitiness and light red-berry notes - nothing too stated or overbearing.

500ml bottle from Morrisons. Eye - bright pink to purple colour, small bubbly head. Nose - sweet fruit confectionary, blueberry very notable, a bit artificial cordial. Taste - blueberry cordial, sugar, crisp apple in finish. Its just all very artificial. Palate - light to medium but syrupy, average carbonation. Overall - Its not overly sweet for me, and tastes ok but its just very artificial.
