66cl bottle from Morrisons. Bought this on a whim. Oh dear. Weird orange gold colour, and once the artficial carbonation dies down, there is no head. Faint apples on the aroma, but there seems to be some yeasty, bisuity thing going on and some vomit I have to admit which is a bit masked by a chemical artificiality. A bit of sweet apple juice in mouth and even a tad smudgeon of sourness going on to the end. But there is a sweetness there too. God, this is awful. Please someone make this stop!!! As you can tell, I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. Unless they are hard of taste.
