Westons Henry Westons Vintage Reserve Cider

A light yellow cider with no head - as expected. The aroma is of oak and apples. The flavor is primarily of acidic apples. An OK cider.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear golden with a rough, dissipating head. Tart apple aroma. Medium body, quite sweetish with distinct apple flavours. Very soft and pleasant, the alcohol is definitely there but yet quite discreet. 180506

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a immediately disappearing white head. Smooth and dry phenol apple aroma. Sweet apple flavour. Light phenol and mild yeasty note, although minor. Very smooth and nice cider.

Bottle. [ Courtesy of Papsoe ] Clear medium yellow color with a small virtually none white head. Aroma is moderate vinegar, oak, apple, sweet. Flavor is moderate sweet, light acidic with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat.

Bottled (from Alko, Vaasa). Golden colour, no head. Aroma is mild alcohol, some apple, vanilla, wood and some slight notes of champagne. Flavour is brutal wood, grass, dry champagne, mild apples and some vanilla kicking in in the finish. Very dry and alcoholic, yet quite thinbodied. Easy to drink though, for being 8.2%.

Bag in a box. Clear yellow coloured with a white head. Aroma of apples, wood and almonds. Flavour of wood and apples with some sweetness.

Pale blond color. A bit more woody than the regular (Medium Dry) one, and just more harsh at the end.

Bottle from Sainsbury. Pale gold, no head. Some rubber upfront, but then fresh apple fruit aroma. Carbonation in mouth is ok. Bit more rubber, but some nice apple/peach flavour. Finish has some intense syurupy fruit and good dryness. Above average commercial cider. But then what do I know about cider?
