Box @ Tap and Can. Reddish gold, clear. Nice prominent raspberry aroma. Taste presents a good natural raspberry character, a little thin bodied perhaps, and not as sweet as other Farmer Jims fruit ciders. Good drinkability. One of the better fruit ciders.

Box @ King & Castle, Kidderminster. Pours clear pale green. Light perry pear sweetness on the nose. Taste is extremely light, clean with a fruit cordial-like body, soft perry pear sweetness, perhaps a little too light though.

Box @ King & Castle, Kidderminster. Pours a clear pale gold. Aroma is indeed sweet, taste similarly sweet with an indistinct fruit cordial character, a touch light but certainly fruity sweet with some light orange notes.
