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 @ Tap 'n' Barrel, Wigan. Very pale clear golden, my mate said it looks like it's been scooped out of a pond. Very sweet with a good tropical fruitiness, but you would expect this given the name. Pineapple style aroma with an initial bittered taste in this respect.
