500ml bottle from Whole Foods Kensington, drunk in Hyde Park before watching Nine Inch Nails at Royal Albert Hall. Good fruity berries thats perhaps more vibrant and blackcurrant-like than the box version. This was also sparkling, and quite refreshing. Box @ Euston Cider Tap 2015. Pours a rosy gold. Taste is fruity with some peach and blackcurrant lacing. Not too much apple coming through, some caramel & pear with a slight hint of rich calvados.

Bottle shared at L6. It pours clear very pale white wine yellow with minimal head. The aroma is sweet, creamy, floral, tart apple, apple skin, pear, vanilla, touch of spice and apple & custard boiled sweets. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, spritzy, apple skin, pear skin, cheap white wine, gooseberry and some tannin with a firmly dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Pleasant white wine character. Not much depth though.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Scoopy. Pours entirely pale and very lightly effervescent. Light sweet flavour with some ripe apples, moderate tartness, a little vanilla. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Fairly clean finish, some musty dryness, more tangy apples, a nip of lemon. Fun stuff.

Pint at the Bermondsey brewery. Aroma of soft vegetable with big apple sweetness. Has no foam but a cloudy orange body. Flavour is odd sweetness, rhubarb apple and pear. A big mix of fruitiness with spice in there like cinnamon. Very sweet and sugary. It's unique and very sweet, so you better be into that.
