3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
330ml bottle at and from Bulmers Harvest Cidery Gisborne, NZ. Pinkish-orange hue, very thin bubbly head disappears quickly. Nice sweet and sour apple aroma with an odd old mahogany wood aroma in there. Moderately sweet, with a touch of acidity. Medium body, well carbonated, slightly syrupy texture. lightly dry finish. I enjoyed this and thought it was much nicer than its 15th percentile rating would suggest.

Bottle. Pours clear dark yellow with small foamy head. Aroma is yeast and fermented apples, but also hints of soap. Taste is medium sweet and light acidic - maybe with hints of bitterness? Body is watery to light oily and dry with fizzy carbonation that doesn’t turn acidic. Finish is light notes of apples, honey and flowers and the carbonation sticks to the mouth for quite some time, making is very fresh and crisp.

bought the bottle from LCBO, did not have on tap whilst in UK/ireland as I was sampling whiskies and local beers. Got it real cold, this is not bad for a cider, sweet refreshing esp if cold, not much bitter at end, good.

Bottle from LCBO. Starts off OK, but before I was 1/4 way in it became almost nauseatingly sweet. There’s better ciders.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Has a deep fruity aroma, the flavour is between grapes and apple and it’s so gassy. The colours is golden and clear.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Has a slight pink colour to it? I found this to be a bit drier and less carbonated than the australian cider’s i’ve tried which i like better. if i was in a pub full of mega swill lager’s or this, i’d drink this.

I agree with HogTownHarry. This is a perfectly decent over ice cider. I found the taste to be fresh and crisp with a slight after taste of apples.
