500ml, £3
A lovely balanced sorbet providing a long-lasting clean taste with just the right amount of zing.
Light, lemony and fresh and with a more traditional, icy texture – delicious!
500ml, £2.75
An extremely appetising sorbet with a pleasantly smooth texture and a delicate, refreshing taste that delivers ample lemon flavours and the perfect sharpness.
An excellent palate-cleanser.
500ml, £2.64
Lacking in strong citrus taste and with a very smooth texture that was almost creamy rather than icy.
Deliciously palatable for those liking a light sorbet.
500ml, £2.75
With a strong, but not overbearing, zesty lemon flavour, this was again a smooth sorbet that melted quickly in the mouth.
The overall taste had a slightly sherbet-like tang, which was both pleasant and different.
500ml, £2.19
A smooth sorbet with a strong, zingy taste. There were evident strong lime undertones, which remain on the palate as a rather tart aftertaste.
Not for the faint-hearted!
500ml, £3
This was sweeter than most with a somewhat artificial flavour.
Smooth in texture with a light taste as the fino lemon juice did not really deliver a deep citrus tang.
