3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours amber with gentle bubbles. The nose has tart apples. The taste is more like Apple tart. The palate is medium bodied with a tangy depth. Overall, I like this.

Dark straw, verging on gold with a sparkle. Light soft character - simpler and more juice-like than its somewhat tannin-like aroma would indicate.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from store in Ireland. Dark gold, nice fizz. Aroma is honey and caramelized, roasted apples. Very refreshing. Too sweet and clashes. A good amount of must rescues it but otherwise it’s too sugary, especially to be called brut. Overall it’s drinkable.

Pours sparkling gold, head fizzes away immediately. Lots of bubbles surching upwards. Aroma has lots of apples, sweet red ones, some marzipan and almonds, just a little vanilla. High carbonation, light dryness. Flavour is a bit weak, some good sweet apples. A mild tartness and dryness in the finish. Very fair cider.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Sainsburys. Effervescent, golden in colour with no head. I can’t add much to what has been said below - plenty of juicy apples, a hint of vanilla, but not much character beyond this. Still a pleasant enough summer drink.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle from Sainsburys. Pours orange/golden with no head. Aroma is mostly apples, flavour is ’crunchy apples’ lacks the usual sour finish of most ciders.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Kidlington Sainsburys had this 05-04-08 Pours mid golden with white bubbly head, reasonably tasty cider but a touch sweet, quite crisp and good flavour but still missing something to be a very good cider.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2007 Bottle from Sainsburys. Golden with no head. Sweet real apple aroma with a little yeast, rings true in the taste also. Have to say you can really taste the apples, even has that syrupy apple juice swallow. Quite gassy with a medium body. Clean and refreshing, it’s nice to actually taste real apples rather than the usual artificial flavour.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Clear golden body. Aroma is fruity, acid and clean, very nice. Flavor is also fruity, mostly apple and a decent sourness. Clean and nice.
