COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Botled commercial cider.
In 2005 Westons celebrated their 125th Anniversary. Henry Weston began the business in 1880. '1880' is a premium pale amber cider full of flavour resulting from the careful blending of a number of selected ciders. Rich and fruity with a long lingering finish.

GregClow (2645) - Toronto, - OCT 24, 2006
Bottle from a Weston’s giftpack, purchased at the LCBO. Clear golden with light carbonation. Aroma of rotting apples with some medicinal and cheesey notes, and some alcohol warmth. Flavour follows on the aroma - sweet, slighty rotted apple with moderate sour/funky/cheesey notes. It’s alright, but seems a bit fake somehow.
