Bottle from Darts Farm Shop near Exeter. Peachy-pink colour, very light fizz. There's a bit of real cideryness in this - some dry apple skins and even a little farmyard funk. Then there's raspberry syrup laid over the top, but it's definitely not as sweet and fake as many in this category. Overall it's light and refreshing and I rather enjoyed it - it's not going to blow your socks off but it would certainly be a pleasant summer drink.
