Cripps Pink

One of my go-tos, very easy drinking. Very clear, with a light golden-lime colour and soft carbonation. Nice fruity flavour, with a very pleasant aftertaste that lingers beautifully on the tongue.

Sweet, smooth and fruity. Very pleasant with a lingering fruit after taste. Found while visiting Bude in Cornwall.

Comes in a 330ml bottle. Single varietal cider from the Cripp's Pink apples. Lime-green in colour, with a fresh, floral aroma. Crisp, fruity flavour, with honey and floral tones. Little aftertaste or finish. Refreshing, very pleasantly flavoured cider, which would make a really good dessert cider. Obtained from Waitrose, Comely Bank Road, Edinburgh.
