Bag in a box, POW, Farnborough. Vague vinegar sour aroma. Pale yellow gold. No head. Light sweetness before building up a sour syrupy finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Sticky on the lips. Flat carb. Long finish. OK. The sourness is bordering on cooking vinegar.

Half at a pub in Islington for no other reason than we wanted to try it. It looked ok in the glass and the aroma was all mango, which was quite pleasant. The taste was all mango flavouring that, to me, tasted artificial beyond the first sip. We abandoned the glass and had whiskeys instead.
