Bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. A mostly clear dark gold with brief white fizz. Aroma of green apple, sugars, light blossom and barnyard. Taste is sweeter than expected, a little syrupy, but a nice mellow non-artificial fruitiness and light tang. Near medium smooth bodied, unusually for 4%, moderate fizz. Quite tasty once you get into it.

Panda at home, thanks to Danlo ... cheers Ed, 04/10/22. Reddish dark amber with a moderate crimson cap that veers edgewards. Nose is big on raspberry and berry fruits, mellow apple, sugars, straw. Taste comprises much sweeter berries, raspberry, hint of lime, sugars, modest apple presnce. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Passable fruit cider ... the nose suggested a more bitter affair but the flavour soon ran too sweet for my liking.

500ml bottle @ Nando's Telford Southwater before watching 1917. Pours clear purple, vivid raspberry nose. Taste presents a gripping raspberry dominance, pips and all, not much lime coming through though. Good fruity number, but does not taste alcoholic at all. To some, that requires a few points taken off. But I quite liked it.

500ml bottle @ Nando's Telford Southwater before watching 1917 (good film). Pours clear gold, lightly sweet commercial apple nose. Crisp, gently fruity, clean but it's a touch light, a little watered down and lacks punch. Fine accompaniment to an extra hot (not that hot really) Nandos.
