Straw blond with no head. Aroma is a bit musty. Flavour of overly sweetened pears. Far too sweet and slightly artificial tasting.

440ml can from the local Scotmid. Looks like Irn-Bru and, to some extent, tastes like Irn-Bru. Pours golden orange, like cheap marmalade, no head. Aromas are cooked apples. Taste as previously mentioned. Chalky, mineral notes, sweet. Watery on the finish.

Bottle from Lidl, Todmorden. Golden-peach coloured. Quite a dry tasting cider with an average apple fruit aroma and taste, although quite potent on the nose.

Can from GoLocalExtra, opposite Rochdale Railway Station. 3.5% version. Slightly paler golden colour with a small carbonation. Has a sweet apple aroma and taste and reminds me of the pub stuff I used to drink when I first started boozing!

Bottle from Lidl, Todmorden. Pale yellow-green with a carbonation. The pear is light in both aroma and taste, but it’s crisp and very palatable.

Bottled (AbM). Pale golden colour, small white head, which vanishes quite quickly. Aroma is sweet apples, some slight fruity and sugary notes along with mild resiny and sappy notes. Flavour is green apples, sweet apples and some slight vanilla, herbs and sappy notes. A bit thin, and not too exciting, but still a quite fresh thing.
Earlier Rating: 4/1/2010 Total Score: 1.7

Keg @ Haigy’s Bradford. Very pale green with a small thin head and a carbonation. Has a pear flavour that’s a touch dry and thin tasting.
