Bag in a box at Firkin Alehouse Folkestone. Hazy green gold colour no head. Big pineapple chunk aroma. Some sweetness no doubt on the finish. Some light dryness. Drinkable enough.Some real pineapple flavour. Too sweet.

Sample of a mate's drink at The Junction Tap, Woking. He got a lot of stick when everyone tried this. Sweet citrus aroma. Opaque white gold. No head. Tastes like Um Bongo. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long sweet finish. Alcopop.

Keg at the Junction Tap. Sample of a mate's which he insisted I taste because it's so nice. I disagree with him. Mango aroma. Hazy orange. No head. The sweet mango overpowers the sharper apple. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long finish. Pretty horrible sickly stuff.

Many thanks for this mixed cider to jacek Wigier (wineofdreams@gmail.com). Wyglad nie ciekawy, jak wycisniety sok z dodatkiem cukru i wody. Cos jak masowy tymbark, sadze ze przewaga gruszek niz jablek, stanowczo za slodkie jak dla mnie. Jedynie fajna jest ta rozbawiona swinka na etykiecie.
