500ml can from corner shop. Faint unpleasant apple aroma. Just a kind of apple fizzy drink with a bit of unsubtle alcohol. Faint acid bleach aroma. Slightlt better in mouth but not by much. Finish of lite apple flavour. Pretty unpleasant.

Can. No head. Color is golden. Aroma and taste dry with tart apples and notes of citrus. Nice cider.

Draught. Hole int Wall, Bowness. No head, clear gold body. Very strong apple aroma. Sweet, with a dry finish.

Keg on campus. A lively orange with a fine, disappearing white head. Tart apples, some sweetness on the aroma. Mostly tart with a hint of sweet apples leading to a bittersweet end. Fizzy and thin on the palate with a dry and tangy but short finish. Not much going on and way too carbonated for me.

The amazing name was the original impetus for buying this cider. Pretty decent, but far from brilliant. Features a crisp and clean flavour, but unfortunately slightly artificial. An easy drinker, and rather refreshing.

I know this aint "real" scrumpy but i’d just finished a 10 mile run and this wen’t down nice. Very refreshing ..sweet ,dry apple skin acidity and leather and must . I’ll rerate this next time i’m not dehydrated. Nice as it was though.

It’s beautiful, dark yellow-golden and the aroma has notes of wood, apple and oven baked apple. The flavour is dry, apple sour, slightly astringent and refreshing with notes of apple, apple peel, wood and the finish is dry. It’s refreshing and easy to drink.

Can 50 cl. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Lightly tart apple aroma. Medium body, apples alright but also a distinct edge of citric acid. Tart finish also. 230110
