lol... a cider radler.. aroma of lemon juice with a somewhat artificial sweet note to balance. The aroma is quite refreshing and reminds me of low alc beer with lemon aroma/flavor. Flavor is truly strange. If I was blind tasting this, i would guess german radler, the apple is not strong in this one, and could be mistaken for malty sweetness. Drinkable, enjoyable, but not a cider and not a beer, closest flavor relative must be a german radler.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury's, Darlington. Clear golden colour, foamy white head that slowly dissipates and aroma of apple, floral note, with hints of skin and core. Taste is sweetish, apple, tangy, lightly acidic, with some core and slight tannin. Medium bodied, light carbonation, drying tangy & light tannic finish. Quite drinkable.
