66cl bottle from Morrisons. Bought this on a whim. Oh dear. Weird orange gold colour, and once the artficial carbonation dies down, there is no head. Faint apples on the aroma, but there seems to be some yeasty, bisuity thing going on and some vomit I have to admit which is a bit masked by a chemical artificiality. A bit of sweet apple juice in mouth and even a tad smudgeon of sourness going on to the end. But there is a sweetness there too. God, this is awful. Please someone make this stop!!! As you can tell, I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. Unless they are hard of taste.

Surely this colour cant be natural,bright orange looks as if it might even glow in the dark. Ok, it might smell slightly of apples, but this is not nice, flavours are not good either, harsh acidity, and an unbalanced sweetness. Nasty finish.

Bottle. Dark gold with no head. Aromas are sweet, yet acidic apple juice - a bit "vomity". Flavours are earthy, sweet apple with vomit sourness on the finish. Tastes a bit artificial in its sweetness. Leaves a bad feeling in the mouth. The label mentions the traditional pressing technique but not whether this cider is produced using it - I suspect it is not. Mediocre.

stron apple aroma, pours with an amber hue and no head, moderately strong apple flavour, slightly acidic with alcohol hints, sugary apple finish
