6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bag in Box at George, Croydon. It pours clear pale straw yellow. The aroma is rich, sweet, unctuous, oily, stewed apple and candy. The taste is smooth, sweet, oily, rich stewed apple, dessert apple, apple pie, touch of tart mouth-pucker, white grape, honey and a hint of spice. Finish is dry and earthy. Quite sweet and rich, yet finishes dry. Good depth of flavour though.

500ml bottle from John’s Beer & Wine, St Ives. Pours clear gold with a fresh fruity aroma, not necessarily pears but tropical juice perhaps. Taste is sweet and juicy with luscious apricot and mango coming through. Extremely tasty and less sickly sweet than the other Polgoon I’ve had.

500ml bottle from John’s Beer & Wine, St Ives. Pours clear gold. Initial aroma is artificially sweet but mellows somewhat. Taste also bears a fair sweetness but retains a clean juicy drinkability that hides the alcohol very well. Refreshing, drink-by-the-pint, hot summer’s day cider.
