Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers GB. Aroma of raspberry summer fruits squash and pear. Flavour is of summer fruits squash and not really a lot else. Very smooth and limited carbonation. I like it.

Sample from Grumbo, cheers GB. Aroma of apple and caramel. Taste is very sweet, possibly too sweet. The sugar overpowers the apples. Not really a fan.

Bottle from Morrisons at 3.4%. Clear gold, a brief white head. Aroma is sugary with fruity passionfruit and no green funky notes you can get from tropical. Taste has a decent fruity passionfruit, lime, reasonable vermouth flavouring but with a sugary sweet syrup element. A low ABV somewhat nullifies the syrupiness by having a lightish body in mouthfeel. It's ok but I can't taste any apple.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a dark cola colour, no head. Aroma of cola and some apple coming through. Taste of fairly sweet cola, some caramel, odd spiciness, maybe a hint of apple skin but cola dominates entirely. Somewhat oily, lightly carbonated, leaves a sugary residue around the palate. Poor.

Bottle from Morrisons. Cloudy pale yellow, brief fizz. Certainly pina colada in aroma - struggling to pick any undercurrent of apple with an intense pineapple and desiccated coconut. There is a hint of apple skin in the flavour but again its predominantly pineapple juice and a nice coconut in the aftertaste. Not really picking up rum. Light bodied with a touch of sugar syrup slickness, refreshing. To be fair its quite tasty and far better than their cola one.
