Handpull at the Bowling Green, Leicester. Dark gold, cloudy, almost completely flat. Sharp scent of cider vinegar. Taste is surprisingly sweet. It's a bit harsh and boozy but enjoyable anyway. A bit of an unfortunate aftertaste which is both sour and saccharin at the same time. By no means absolutely terrible but there are issues.

Hazed deep golden color with a small bubbly head. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium + body and a soft carbonation level. Unbalanced sweet and a bit oily texture. Overripe apples in the flavor. Just to sweet.

500ml bottle. Hazy pinkish peach. Much more vibrant fruity rhubarb this time with a soft fuzzy feel. Re-rate. Half from a plastic milk bottle @ Stratford Alehouse. Pours a hazy peach. Decent-enough fruity rhubarb aroma, taste has a pleasing rhubarb presence, moderately sweet, some vanilla. Like all the other Lilleys fruit ciders, it’s not aiming for ultimate flavour complexity.. but for a light fruity rhubarb cider it does the job.
