500ml bottle from Tesco - clear pale gold, no head. Nose is sweet tropical fruit, getting the pineapple and mango. Taste has a better than expected vibe, crisp apples, the mango comes through nice enough, quite like a Fruit Salad sweet with a tangy bitterness to ease the sweetness. Not bad.

On this can labeled as Strongbow original dry the ABV is 5%. Fairly run of the mill cider absolutely nothing special. Except the label claims dry cider and it's on the sweet side.
