Cask at GBBF 2019. My notes state, Sweet and pink. And a score of 3.4. It's a cider so I guess that's enough on a beer website.

8/4/2019. Bottle sample courtesy of Danlo, cheers! Pours bright amber with an off-white head. Aroma of strawberry, blackcurrant, raspberry and mint sprig. Medium plus sweetness, minimal bitter and tartness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Started off like a kiddies toothpaste, though the mintiness faded away and a little tartness came through. Dry finish. Odd concoction.

500ml bottle. Orangey-pink colour, no head and aroma of fresh mint along with syrupy strawberries. Taste is sweet strawberry, gum, mint leaf and green apple notes, along with some astringency. Light to medium bodied, low carbonation, semi-dry finish. Abit unbalanced, strange gum or mouthwash-like taste
