Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Pinkish orangey colour, white foam head that dissipates and aroma of strawberry topping. Taste is sweet, strawberry flavour, jammy, sugary, tangy, with a hint of apple and lime. Syrupy, medium bodied, light carbonation, sweet finish. OK, quite sweet.

Panda at home, thanks to Ed Danlo, 28/04/24. Clear light golden with a white cap that thins to the edge. Nose is sweet apples, sugars, apple pie, caramel. Taste comprises apple, honeydew melon, light tannins, sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Passable stuff ... a touch on the sweet side for my liking.

12/4/2024. From BIAB at the 11th Isle of Man Beer & Cider Festival. Pours clear pale gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is sweet apple, caramel, lightly baked, citrus, leafy, funky hints. Quite sweet with light drying tartness. Moderate body, oily, low carbonation. Bit too sweet, preferred the bottled version.

12/4/2024. From BIAB at the 11th Isle of Man Beer & Cider Festival. Pours clear pinkish golden amber with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is sweet strawberry, syrup, merest hint of lime. Very sweet, slightest tart edge. Moderate body, syrupy watery, still, no carbonation. Preferred the bottled version, this was too strawberry dominated.

9/4/2024. Bottle bought direct from the cidery, enjoyed whilst staying at The Sefton, Douglas. Pours clear pale gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma is sweet apple, apple pie, very slight funky and sulphur notes. Quite sweet with minimal tartness. Light body, quite highly carbonated. Much better than the mass-marketed NA ciders out there.
