cgarvieuk	2.8 Chafford Sweet Cider cask at GBBF 2012 ... palest yellow ... thin white head .. white wine tones ... soft apple ... even a hit of sake on the nose ... just a touch of white wine or home made druit wine for me Tuesday, October 9, 2012
oh6gdx	2.1 Chafford Sweet Cider Canister@GBBF2012. Yellowish golden colour, no head. Aroma is sweet apples, alcohol, spices and vinegar. Flavour is apple, glue, alcohol, fruits, mild tartness and quite much vinegar. Sunday, August 19, 2012
harrisoni	3.6 Chafford Cider - Dry (Draught) Bag in a box at Rare Breeds BF 08. Gold, thin bubbly white head. Some ascetic aroma. But the flavour is really good. Sourness is excellent. Some green apple, but there is some Speyside type whisky. Surprisingly sour flavour, the apple is quite green and muted, but overall great. Monday, June 9, 2008

MesandSim	3.4 Chafford Hellishly Strong Dry Cider A Mes rate: Milk bottle shaped plastic bottle from Middle Farm thanks to David. Utterly ridiculous stuff. I entered the abv as 13 but it seems that’s the lowest it will be and is more than likely stronger... Pale yellow colour. Paint stripper and acetone with some slight apple in the aroma. Flavour similar but the finish is great. Very very dry but then that is washed away with long long alcohol and apple notes. Certainly not the most interesting cider I have had but its just so over the top silly I couldn’t help but like it. Sunday, September 16, 2007
