I’ve got to admit I’m very pleasantly surprised. Very refreshing. It’s got a taste reminiscent of a light ale/larger type beer but without the chemical aftertaste. Definite citrus flavours. I’ve bottled it with 1/2 a tsp of white sugar in each bottle to give it some fiz. I’ll give it a week or 2 and then try it chilled. I reckon it will be perfect after a hot day in the garden. If I make this again I’ll use unwaxed orange and lemon. Getting the wax out of the demijohn is proving difficult.It’s sitting at around 6.5%. I like it as it is. I’ve no idea if it would be as good at higher alcohol content but will probably give it a go next spring.</blockquote>
