Crowler from LCB. It pours a ludicrous red colour with no head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, white sugar, red delicious apple, raspberry jelly, jam and bubblegum. The is pretty sweet, juicy, smooth, red delicious apple, red berry, cherry, raspberry, red jelly, limited alcohol presence, white sugar, candy, cherry drops and just a hint of dry tannin on the back end. Medium body, flat and oily mouth feel. Can't say I'm a fan. Tastes of those big red shiny American apples. Impressive that it hides the abv, but feels like an alcopop really.

Cask @ Flying Horse Hotel, Rochdale. Pale golden with a minimum of haziness. Its mango aroma and flavour is decent, but it does feel thin in the palate.
