bottled. pale golden yellow. pretty fizzy, sweet, the slightest promise of some interesting tartness but it never gets there

Bottled. Pale golden, brief head. Sweet red apple aroma.Sweet with clean mouthfeel. Evident but simple flavour of overripe apples. Light bodied and light flavoured. Dull and lifeless.

Hope I have the right cider here. Tasted on draught at the Moon & Sixpence just before they replaced it with an Australian Bulmer cider ’Strongbow’. Poured gold, quite clear, with a quickly dissipating gas charged head. Couldn’t pick up much aroma as the Community shield game was just about to start and the place was packed. Cordial-like sweet apple-juice flavour in the mouth with a light hint of malt?. Quite astringent in the back, made all the more unpleasant by a carbonic acid bite that persisted for the length. Became quite lactic and gummy half-way down and as it began to warm, and was considerably filling in the stomach. Unusually, it seemed better towards the end or maybe it was me tiring under the weight. Average, one-dimensional cider.

Bottled at Bishops Arms, Avenyn, Göteborg, Sweden. Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Synthetic soda-pop apple aroma, spritzy carbonation, way too sweet.

Yellow with a small white head. Apple peel aroma. Sweet apple juice flavour.

Not too good. Very sweet and one dimensional. Had trouble finishing this and I usually don’t mind a cider occasionally.

The same curious pinkish-golden colour of its rival Magners. Very little aroma. Would you know this was supposed to be a cider? Not really. It isn’t sweet like Magners. It has no sourness or bitterness. It tastes like a diluted fizzy soft drink. Very easy drinking for the crowd who enjoy Sirrus and Magners.

Iv had worce thats foresure. However a member of staff was drinking in bklackfriers and thought i better rate it. Aroma is minimal due to all the ice, slightly ripe apples, hints at spice and a slightly metallic edge, but very slight. Taste is similar, horribly carbonated, and far too bloody cold, however again metallic ripe apples can be found.

Golden coloured and clear. Has a white head. Looks good. But then, hardly no aroma and only some faint sweet flavor. Perhaps I should try putting some inc in it to give it some aroma and flavor...

Keg at The White Lion, Banbury. Pale gold with no head. For want of something to drink, sweetish chemical flavour with juicy skinny flavour. Only average.
