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.

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.

Bottle and on tap. Golden colour with a bubbly head. Apple aroma. Dry and lots of apple flavour

Bottle at Fitzers Restaurant, Temple Bar, Dublin. Clear gold, with defined bubble trails. Beautiful flavour, being light and sweet, with a pleasantly smooth aftertaste. A very nice cider.

568ml bottle, brown. Deep golden yellow colour, next to no head but some lacing. Medium carbonation, oily(!) mouth feel. Aroma of fresh, citric apples and some booze. Medium-dry taste of ripe apples, again with a welcome citric note. It is not "sugary", as some people claim - clearly, people who have never tasted any other ciders before (ever tried Kopparberg?). Fruit and a slight citric bitterness are well-balanced, and the sour note lingers, as does the noticeable, but well-integrated alcohol. A real "session cider", if there is such a thing. Do not confuse with the Irish "Bulmers" cider, which is sold in England and internationally as "Magners" - this here is the original English Bulmers cider. Well, they’re all owned by Heineken anyway - but they don’t taste the same - Magners is sweeter! Very good "recreational" drink.

Tap at the Marquis Cornwallis in Bloomsbury. Copper tinged gold color. Fine white head that laced lightly. Near medium body. Very fresh apple flavor. Just a touch of skin. Nice apple aroma. Lightly sweet throughout. The brut champagne of English ciders.

Bottle. Golden cider with a lightly dry and fruity aroma. The flavour is sparkling and sweet. Overall a nice and refreshing cider.
