3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pleasing, orchardy nose with a hint of spiced apple promise. Pours a pure cider gold. Flavour is well balanced, sweet and gently sharp. The lingering flavour is medium dry and moreish although the mouthfeel is a little thing so it doesn’t hang around for long. Quite nice.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Well balanced between sweet and dry. Served cool in a small glass, It was quite refreshing and had more flavour than the other Devon version that I tried.

50cl bottle from Waitrose..Golden amber with moderate carbonation, sweetish apple aroma; lightly bodied, crisp apple flavour; dry cardboard finish; dreary and boring.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle from ASDA. Deep gold in colour with slight carbonation. Eating apple aroma with a hint of caramel. Bland flavour of apples, with a touch of tartness in the finish. Forgettable, and a lot worse than the same producer’s Devon Medium.

bottle from waitrose. apple, cardboard and raw pork smell. golden colour, fine carbonation. quite pleasant, and clean tasting. but thats not particularly a good thing for a cider. no depth or character. good enough for a camping trip to reading, maybe...
