500ml bottle, via Beers of Europe. Pours misty bright pink, artificial strawberry ice pop nose. Taste is much of the same, artificial flavours, a bit sticky on the finish, retains some of the pure apple textures underneath which rescues things somewhat.

500ml bottle @ Stable, Birmingham. Pours clear pinkish, pale. Strong root ginger on the nose, fairly robust fiery ginger root on the palate with soft plummy notes. Can't recall having a cider with ginger this strong before, but it works well with the plum notes. Medium carbonation. Not bad.

Bottle from Bourne Valley Garden Centre, Addlestone. Apple peel aroma with a floral element that takes the edge off. Light child. Bubbly white head soon fades. Initial sweetness before the sourness closing proceedings. The elderflower comes through. Light bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long finish, the sweetness returns. It's fine. A bit sickly so wouldn't want to drink more than one bottle.
