Bottle I think from Low Cost Beer. Appearance - deep red and clear. Nose - berries and fresh green apples. Taste - green apples and sweet berries. Palate - light bodied, a wee bit too sweet but expected. Overall - OK.

Draught: Poured a pale yellow color cider with good carbonation. Aroma of semi-dry apple notes. Taste is not the most complex but the refreshing mix of semi-sweet apple notes is enjoyable. Good drinkability.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Dark bluish purple, clear. Only the lightest suggestion of berry in the aroma. The taste, too. Sweet but not very fruity and a little synthetic. Light body and very carbonated. Just very little to this.

Can from Micro Beer Crate. Pours a pale crystal clear gold, brief white fizzy head, some bubbles remain. Aroma is very floral with the elderflower on a background of tangy dessert apple and light funk. Taste is very much as anticipated from the aroma with the elderflower dominating but a tangy apple still notable. Somewhat sweet and sugary but a drying close. Mouthfeel is a light and oily. Mixed.

On 23rd Jan 2020 I decided to change all my 34 'ticks' for no-beers into rates. Every 'tick' scored a '3', this will not change as they become 'rates'. My 'ticks' were Ciders, Meads, Perrys and Sake. This is a cider!
