Jun 19, 2003 Light, fizzy, overwhelmed by sulphites in both aroma and flavour. Sweetish finish. Would be blandishly acceptable were it not for the sulphites.

Dec 19, 2005 <i>Draught</i><br />Skunky cider, very dry mouthfeel, poor and useless. Undrinkable.

Oct 25, 2003 Nice apple aroma. the flavour is quite sweet. The finish is too thin and watery.

Jun 19, 2007 Bottle <b>(Dry Blackthorn)</b>... Clear, light golden cider with no head. White wine and fresh red apple aroma. Tastes a bit like a dry Brut Champagne. Minimal residual sweetness and good acidity. Medium-bodied with modest carbonation. Tangy, bone-dry finish. I look at all the other descriptions of this cider, written by folks I know and whose judgments I trust... and am surprised and confused. Something doesn’t jive regarding all the sweetness others are encountering. Hmmm? <b>The bottle even states that it’s brewed and bottled in Somerset England by Taunton Cider</b>. Must be an old bottle!
