Blackthorn Cider

Brewed by Matthew Clark Cider (C&C Group)
Style: Cider
Bristol, England

Serve in Flute, Lager glass

Immediately upon pouring i was overwhelmed by the immense amount of carbonation fizzing through the glass. Its sour aroma was matched by a sour and artificial flavour which luckily did not last long. The taste was more of wine than of beer, however, on a good note, the can, was BA.

Tap. A light and clear yellow colour with absolutely no head. Not much aroma either. Artificially sweet taste gives way to a dry and sour finish. Light on the tongue with only slight carbonation. Unremarkable and too artificial, but mildly refreshing

Cidery!!!!!!! Sweet and sour with no real body to speak of. A little bland for my cider tastes and I do like a good cider.

Golden color with a fizzy diminishing white head. Simple burnt matches and apple rind aromas. The sulfur diminishes with time but not nearly quick enough. Sweet simple candi apples. The feel is not as spritzy as the pour suggests. Dries out slightly in the finish and linger, but still simple. Still smells like a pack of burnt and extinguished matches.

A great alternate for beer. My wife likes this stuff, so it lets me spend more on MY beer! It is also pretty refreshing when it’s hot. I hate to admit it, but I kinda like the taste too.

bottle poured into flute. Not a big cider fan but this was drinkable. Slightly darker amber colours. Flavour was slightly creamy. Nice.

Poured a light golden, some fizz but not much. More or less still in the glass. Aroma and flavor of clean crisp apples, moderate tannins or bruised apple skin. Moderately sweet, with a slightly watery feel.

Pale yellow..on tap. Sharp sweet taste with very thin mouthfeel and too much carbonation.
