Tap Out 3 Times Beer#10. Visited three new Taps today, back to cider with a golden effort that has a good sweetish apple and passion fruit flavour with a somewhat dry texture. There’s a good aroma too of the aforementioned.

Box @ The Boathouse, Shrewsbury with Soph. Pours a clear golden pink, flat. Red berry flavouring, moderately sweet, light juicy body with a metallic hint that I assume is from the caffeine. Nice enough for a berry cider, can't detect the caffeine too much.

Box @ The Boathouse, Shrewsbury with Soph. Pours clear golden rosy pink. Tropical flavouring with a metallic hint from the caffeine I'm guessing, juicy light body. Couldn't really detect the caffeine much, perhaps a younger person would.

Bag in the box at the Salmon, Leicester. Light to mid-gold and still with no head. Aroma is sweet, sugary and artificial orange and peach, maybe a little bit of Passion fruit. Sweet sweet taste, citrus, stone and tropical fruits. Not very focused and pretty fake but its nice sometimes to have something like this. Full body, no carbonation.
