2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
660ml bottle from Safeway. I thought this wasn’t too bad for a commercial cider, even if it is an odd orangey colour that makes it look like Lucozade. Quite fruity. Described as dry but I’d call it medium. Not as synthetic tasting as some macro swill ciders. Straightforward but reasonably refreshing. I didn’t find anything offensive about it.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draught. Pours a clear straw color with a minimal white head. Aroma is sweet-dry with apple skin, green apple pulp, dusty basement and white wine. Taste is moderately sweet with a hint of acidic. Green applea and fruity sweetness mixed with white wine. Thin in body with lively carbonation. Overall, very decent and interesting balance.

?Cask (Southampton Arms, RBESG2011 Saturday)
Slightly watery, but a decent sharpness to the aroma. Definitely appley. Refreshing crisp palate. Leaves you with an appley finish. However, something’s missing. It’s a bit watery and gutless.

500 ml bottle. BBE 05/2011, vintage! [sic] Rated @ 25.6.2011.
Pours a clear golden colour without a head. Looks like apple juice. Aroma of sweet tart apples and some wood. Flavour of tart, dry, green apples, cardboard, and again wood. Light bodied with a watery mouthfeel and a surprisingly strong, acidic apples. A month after BBE and this has clearly gone quite sour.
