Canned. Pale yellow colour, with a sour apple nose with a slight yeasty edge. Not as sweet as I thought it would be, actually rather tasty,clean and has a refreshing acidic finish...that’s a surprise, as I didn’t think i’d like this, bought it to try with Thatchers Katy as a comparison, must admit it’s not bad..Katy is better,but for the price this is ok.

Bottle, fom Tesco, Scunthorpe. Gold, thin fizzly shortlived white head and slight overcondition. Vaguely chlorine like in the nose with some sharp tart apple notes, quite sugary sweet and full bodied in the mouth with a background tang of citric apple that borders on sour, lingering sweet apple finish with some citric notes.

Bottle. Light gold with a film of head. Aroma of light fruit. Flavour is light sweet, with a gentle dry finish.

Okay foamy head, sweet apple aroma. Flavour is sweet apples with alcohol and a really lip-puckering finish. Really too sweet and bitter for my preferences.
