Fat and fruity nose with candy and cinnamon notes. Pours yellowy orange. Flavour is ok, with a good balance and some pleasant fruit but all told it’s a little insipid with a quickly disappearing finish. Needs some guts.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from ASDA. Clear cold with no head and moderate carbonation. Dryish, yeasty aroma that promised more than the rather one-sided sweet flavour that ended with a short dry finish. Ok for a clear cider.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bright orange gold colour. Faint aroma with a hint of sourness that is not repeated in the taste, which is sweet and restrained. A slight dry aftertaste. Not too bad.

Clear pale orange with a sweet appley aroma, similar taste - pherhaps just a bit too sweet for me but nice and drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Sainsburys 13-04-07. This cider poured a warm gold verging on orange colour. Taste was a touch on the sweeter side than I expected, some woody flavours, quite a soft character to it.
