Can that Em gave me (bought from Waitrose) - thanks Em! Dirty, murky pinkish-red colour with a white head. I've never thought thought chocolate works very well in a sour beer and at first the odd aroma seemed to reinforce this perception. There's creamy milk chocolate up front with a touch of yoghurt in a very smooth mouthfeel. But then strawberry juice comes through, and the creaminess suddenly makes sense. With just a mild tartness, this is more sweet than sour, and after a few gulps it felt like a bowl of strawberries and cream with just a light dusting of cocoa. I quite enjoyed it by the end, but as with all such brews I'm not convinced it's really beer anymore.

Can from the Falcon (JDW), Wycombe. Lightly hazed deep gold with a white head and a middling fizz. Light notes of apricot and sweet blueberry set against a lightly bitter, crispish finish. Very mild, gentle flavours though. Easy-drinking, pleasant enough but entirely forgettable.

Bottle from Carrefour, Lille. Amber with an off-white head and a middling fizz. Smells a bit like an industrial lager. The taste is much better though - lots of sweet maltiness, syrup tart and brown bread, followed by grass and a touch of lemon in the mildly bitter finish. Quite enjoyed it by the end.

Can from Tesco, Reading. Sweet mango, peach and elderflower up front. A surprising amount of bread and wheat chaff, then lime in the bittersweet finish. It's ok.

Can from Asda, Wycombe. Rich golden-yellow with a lasting fluffy white head - it definitely looks the part. Lots of bread and caramel, balanced with a little grassy bitterness that provides some crispness in the finish. I think that some people might find it a tad on the sweet side, but I thought it was very drinkable. Enjoyable stuff - and I'd expect nothing less from the ever decent Utopian.

Bottle from Aldi, Wycombe. Had a different flavour of this back in Ratebeer days, (a gift from someone who clearly didn't like me very much!) but it wasn't rateable on that site due to the low apple content. Didn't take any notes that time, so given that it's allowed on Brew er I've had to buy another bottle to get the region tick. It's fake pink in hue with a hint of orange and a ring of white on top. It's too sweet and fizzy from the off, but that's pretty much a given with these fake ciders. It tastes of Ribena, fake raspberry, blueberry and sugar. Too sweet and fake for me, couldn't finish the bottle.

Bottle from Aldi, Wycombe. Hazy yellow-orange colour with a lasting white head. Nice whiff of banana and fresh baked bread. Overly and unnecessarily fizzy and a tad watery. Cakey taste with some banana, orange juice, black pepper, cloves and cinnamon. A light bitterness at the end balances the sweet banana cake aftertaste well. It's true to style, and for a budget supermarket brew this is actually pretty good!
