I found this in Cardiff under the name Thatcher Somerset Traiditional Cider (4,9%). Taste and smell of fruity apple juice. Yeasty with an alcoholic feel. Lots of apples.

Bottle from MS Bratislava. Golden color with small white head. Quite high carbonation. Aroma of apple, yeast. Taste, apple, more on sweet side. Dry finish. Refreshing, but not great cider.

Bottle from M&S. Basic stewed apple aroma. Its fine touch of sweetness. Very appley. Its drinkable but lacks character. Its got decent apple pie stewed apple flavour. Can feel it attacking my teeth though

Bottle. Light gold with steady carbonation. Aromas are dusty apple with citrus, yeast and tinned pear. Flavours are bittersweet apple juice with tart citrus notes. Icing sugar sweetness fowards the finish. Dry on the aftertaste. Becomes cloying after a while. OK.

Golden in colour with moderate fizz. Sweet, honey aroma with some stewed apple. Flavour was very sweet, one dimensional with a hint of dryness in the finish. Poor.
