As a big fan of Cider, especially Swedish brand Rekorderlig (I reviewed Rekorderlig Winter Cider last year), I was excited to spot this rather interesting sounding Mango and Raspberry cider. I purchased this 500ml bottle in Waitrose for £2.19. The bottle contains 2.25 units and is 4.0% alc/vol.
The cider smelt more of the mango rather than the raspberry and it's a sort of rosey pink color. It is made from Swedish spring water and this is reflected in the taste, it is more like a flavoured fizzy water than a cider and I couldn't really taste the alcohol which made it very easy to drink.
Verdict I found this Mango and Raspberry Cider less bloating than an apple or pear cider and it was very sweet whilst still refreshing. I have heard that there is a Limited Edition Passionfruit flavor out at the moment but sadly I haven't been able to track it down yet.
What do you think of these more interesting flavoured ciders? Do you enjoy them or should they just stick to apple or pear? Have you tasted the new Passionfruit flavour?
