Keg at Heidrun, HW, 15/06/18. Hazed orange with little in the way of a head. Nose is mango pulp, nectarine, sweet sticky fruits ... more akin to a sweet fruit beer than a cider. Taste comprises more ripe mango flesh, apple pulp, shades of a cider within. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Sweet and sticky ... meh.

Handpull at the Salmon, Leicester. Dark gold and cloudy. Strong apple aroma with a floral hint and a touch of naked alcohol. Vingeary and saccharine simultaneously in the taste. Balance sorts out a bit nearer to the fi ish but this is tough going. A proper oesophagus stripper.

On draught at the Loaded Dog, Leicester. A translucent pink, hazy. Sweet taste of sugary raspberry. Tastes like raspberry syrup, not getting a lot of pear. Children's medicine flavour. It's nicely carbonated though a has a pleasant syrupy mouthfeel. Not a great perry by any standard but wonderfully enjoyable.

On draught at the Loaded Dog, Leicester. Light yellow, hazy. Sweet, ight vinous smell with apple, grape, grass and floral notes. Sweet taste with some sour/bitterness mid-sip, but it reverts back to far too sweet for the finish. Some of Lilley's flavoured ciders are pretty good but this one is very middle-of-the-road.
