I’m rating this from memory. As I recall it was on the lighter side of the colour spectrum with plenty of evident carbonation when had off tap. Not the sweetest cider, but not quite off-dry either and lacking in body. Not a favourite cider, but not a bad session brew and popular with cider drinking tourists.

Oh well, lets have a cider for a change. Bloody hell, should have asked them to serve it without what seems to be additional tablespoon of sugar in it.

much as i like to encourage motel's cider renaissance i don't think he has to wade through crap like this just so he can say he likes cider. ridiculously sweet, like applejuice cordial, with a little bit of tartness but not nearly enough. slightly medicinal.

i'm glad i got around to tasting a few ciders in new zealand - this became my session drink for a couple of long hot afternoons spent watching cricket. ruby red, tasty and tart, full red apple taste with a little unwelcome tomato juice in the finish. too sweet to not get sick of but a step up from the usual nz macro brown ale
