14/2/2021. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear bright pale gold with a short lasting white head. Aroma is sweet, tropical, ripe fruits, mango, passion fruit, sugared rhubarb and vanilla custard. Quite heavy custard sweetness, minimal tartness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Okay but seemed a little muddled.

Box @ Weavers Real Ale House, Kidderminster. Pours a reddish golden amber. Plummy nose. Taste is light, fruity, pretty much just plummy fruit cordial really. Not a lot to mark it out as a cider, or even a fruit cider. Simplistic, watery, fine I guess.

6/6/2019. From bag in a box at Keeds Beer Festival. Pours pale gold with minimal head. Aroma of light apples, subtle rhubarb and a little caramel and vanilla. Medium plus sweetness with light tightness. Moderate body, slight sticky texture, soft to flat carbonation. The rhubarb is not at all โin your faceโ and finish is of rhubarb and custard sweets. Not bad but not much to it either.
