330ml can, no mention of 'Wagamama' on my can though. It was used to help flavour a slow cooked 'Pulled Pork' recipe the wife was making, I drank the remaining liquid (about 200ml). Pale and fizzy!

Pours clear reddish purple. It smells of apples, blueberries, and other assorted berries. The flavor is sweet but thankfully it’s not the sugar bomb I expected from its 21 grams of carbs. Mixed berries and apples come through well enough. It’s nothing to get excited about but it works okay.

Pours gold and has a ripe apple aroma. The flavor is somewhat sweet but not too sugary. There’s a little tartness. Overall it’s a fairly good cider.

7/8/2023. Bottle shared by danlo, cheers Ed! Pours a little unclear dark dark amber copper with a small bubbly white head. Super aroma. Sweet fleshy apple, woody, port wine, brown sugar, raisins, light vanilla. Medium sweetness and light tartness. Medium to full body, very smooth, low carbonation. Great!

On tap at BrewDog Bristol Harbour side. Clear deep rich amber colour no head. Apple wood vanilla aroma. Bourbon character. Some dryness on the finish. Really interesting. So a good cider which is dry with a bit of sweetness from the barrel. I have to say I liked it. Of all the drinks I've had in past 3 days this is the one I liked the most.
