Cask at The Old Forge, Kirkby Stephen. Slightly hazy golden body. Aroma of sweet apple. Flavour of soft, sweet apples. Medium body with a soft fizz. This is a soft, uncomplex, fruity cider - one of my favourites.

Mid-dry and sweet ending. Soft mouthfeel. About drinkable. Sweet soft drink-like. Did not empty the bottle. (Tromsø, 04.08.2024).

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.
