Box @ Lilley's Cider, Frome. Pours clear golden orange. Decent mango fruit definition on the nose. Continues to taste, doesn't really taste alcohol-free, in fact much like the original. Juicy mango. Doesn't really come across as a cider. Light to medium bodied.

Box @ Lilley's taproom. Hazed gold appearance. Very thin watered down fruity aroma. Taste lacks a natural fruit character, feels very watered down with a drying finish. Pointless.
