Handpull at the Salmon, Leicester. A deeper gold than I was expecting. Still and no head. The aroma gives Maraschino cherry and a little bit of pineapple. Very sweet taste with cherry to the fore, with canned pineapple and citrus. Some gentle bitterness in the finish but it doesn't redress the balance issue. Light and slightly oily body. OK.

Can from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Clear ruby red. No head. Aroma isnquite syrupy. Some low key raspberry sharpness. Quite medicinal, like coughsweets. Flavourwise it's basically similar. Verry sweet and syrupy. Slightly acidic. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Industrial tasting stuff.

Clear yellow gold with a smattering of bubbles for a head and a pineapple chunk aroma. Tastes like a watery pina colada with a bit of a funky kick, finishes dry and sweet

Festival pint draft at the Shambles Pub in York, England. Pours a crystal clear rose color with no head or lacing. Strong raspberry aroma, as expected. Wow, this tastes like strawberry candy. More of a fruit juice versus a true cider. Very sweet. Thin body and low carbonation. Zero bitterness. It's a sweet candy cider. Very refreshing. Definitely not beer, but I like the taste.
