Sample from bag-in-box @ Cable Station Inn near Penzance, Cornwall. Is this really ratable? Anyway, I had my sample. Really hazy orange body like fruit juice without any head. Strong aroma of mango, lime and ginger. Same goes for the flavor, lots of fruit and ginger with a strong lime finish. Not bad, but this is like a NEIPA version of cider – e.g. nice, but tastes more of juice than cider. Or what to expect from a mango/lime/ginger cider. I don’t know, difficult one to to rate. Very refreshing and rather balanced with a fine lime sour finish. But is this ratable?

Sample from bag-in-box @ Cable Station Inn near Penzance, Cornwall. Is this really ratable? Anyway, I had my sample. Really hazy orange/pink body like fruit juice without any head. Pretty similar to the mango, lime and ginger cider I sampled just ahead with the exception of different fruit. Lots of rhubarb and nutmeg, vanilla spices both in aroma and flavor. I actually found this one more drinkable than the Mango version and managed to have a couple of pints of this one. Still – is this ratable?
