500ml bottle from ASDA, Darlington. Pale golden colour with pinkish tinge, short-lived fizzy white foam head and pimms, zesty citrus aroma with passionfruit hints. Taste is sweet, pimms, fruity flavourings, sugary with some citrus, passionfruit & mango-like notes. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel, light to medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, semi-dry finish with residual sweetness. Kind of OK, one to have over ice.

Bottle from Tesco. Would never have even thought about buying this if i hadnt noticed these were ratable, so my curiousness got the better of me. Bought for educational (& rating) purposes only. Pours clear gold, aroma is sweet passionfruit / lime syrup. Taste is moderately sweet, drying, surprisingly drinkable. Very little apple or cider presence. Tastes a bit like schloer.

Bottle from Tesco Supermarket, Borehamwood. Pinkish-red and quite active in the palate. The plum is light as the red apple dominates, and provides a fair sweetness to this cider. Aroma is mainly red apple too.

Bottle at the Duck in the Pond, Harrow Weald. This Ember Inns pub, my in-laws local, used to have a decent range of guest real ales at one point. Sadly, those days are long gone, and with only the boring get-'em-anywhere ales available I've been reduced to hitting the first fruit ciders for new rates when we come here for dinner. This one's pale gold with a light fizz. It's light and refreshing in body, with passion fruit to the fore and just a hint of lime behind. There's no sign of the cider - we're definitely in alcopop territory here. However, unlike most if it's competitors, it's actually not sickly sweet and is quite refreshing. As this genre of drinks goes it's actually not too bad - that us until an ugly slug of dirty vodka comes through in the aftertaste. Shame, get rid of that and you'd actually have a surprisingly nice summer drink.
