Bottle care of Dirty D Bag. It pours clear very pale green - yellow with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, mellow, golden delicious apple, honey and dull sherbet. The taste is soft, sweet, slightly tart, tangy, sugary, golden delicious, sherbet, icing sugar and dull lemon.. Medium body and fine carbonation. Quite soft and sugary. Fair enough, but not a whole lot to it.

Bottle at Swingers City. Drank from bottle so couldn't get a full take but not sure I needed to. Less.sweetbthan some of these commercial parties but still essentially a pear alcho pop.

330ml bottle @ Brewdog Brum. Pours clear gold, solid fruity sweet apples on the nose. Crisp and clean on the palate, medium-sweet with nice rounded apple fruit. For an accessible cider it's light, breezy with just enough fruit character without getting overly sweet. My extremely picky other half liked it, so it gets an extra point for that alone.

330ml bottle from somewhere i cant remember. Pours clear gold, small white ring. Medium sweet perry pear aroma. Taste is medium sweet, clean with a bright sparkle & some surprisingly characterful Packham pears. Quite accessible. Not bad.

Bottle at the Bottle Bureau, Chelmsford. Pours very pale gold with no head. Not keen on this, my least favoured of the 3 Sxollie's I've tried.
