Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear, orangey golden with no head. Distinct and intense mangoish aroma. Medium body, hardly any carbonation. Super duper sweet mango flavors, while the base cider is nowhere to be found. No tartness. I cannot say it tastes bad, because it doesn't. Bot it's an artificially flavored and sweetened soda pop, not a cider. 200624

Cromwell's Tap House, Shrewsbury. 24th May 2024, Cider and Sausage Fest, shared half-pint from a box. Pale silver, slight haze, no head. Very much like a weak Pina Colada without any coconut cream smoothness.

Aus der Flasche im 2024-04 getrunken. Dieses rosa farbende Cider zeigt klare Aromen von Himbeeren und Minze. Wobei die Minz wohl dossiert im Hintergrund bleibt. Interressant, aber das Aroma wirkt aber irgendwie künstlich.

Aus der Flasche im 2024-04 getrunken. Dieses goldene Cider startet deutlich mit eine schönen Mango-Aroma. Am Gaumnen ist es leicht süßlich, wo ich mir etwas mehr Balance in Richtung Säure gewünschtr hätte. Trotzddem nicht schlecht und würde mir sicher besser gefallen wenn es nicht still ohne Kohlensäure wäre.
