500ml bottle. Pours a clear medium gold. The aroma is very fruit-driven, with lots of sweet apple and not a whole lot else. There is a bit of tartness to start, but it soon blends into a sweet fruity finish. The palate is neither too dry nor too cloying. Not the world’s most interesting cider, by a long shot, but it has a reasonable sweet-dry balance, and would be a passable easy drinker, if it wasn’t so hard to find.

Bottle. Pale golden colour with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of apples and sugar.

330 ml bottle.
Pours a clear yellow colour witha small, foamy and patchy head. Aroma of sour dry apples with some wood and cardboard notes. Flavour of sour and dry apples, wet wood, barnyard and sugar. Medium bodied with a dry finish. Not bad and very drinkable.

Bottle. Aroma of apple, wood and acid. Golden yellow colour. MEdium dry apple flavour as promisedbut with too much acid. A bit watery, apples too weak.

bottle at bar near the harbor in cal bona, mallorca. golden, small white head. dry apple aroa, faint spicy. flavor is apple, dry, not very sweet, not much sour notes, but very drinkable.

draft - Pours pale gold and smells of green apples. It’s bubbly and sweet. It’s light, refreshing, and pretty much the average cider one might expect.

Had this one in Scotland. Lot’s of carbonation. Pale golden colored brew. A lot of apple and sweetness in both aroma and flavor. Light sour.

330ml bottle. Lively pale gold body, medium bead, not head. Good clarity. Minimal aroma; apple skin, caster sugar, bit of farty S02. Quite thin body, moderately high carbonation, subdued acid, short palate. Flavour similiar to the nose, not a great deal happening. Light apple flavours, some sweetness, almost seems a bit artificial. Clean finish, refreshingly dry. Very drinkable, non-offensive cider. If you’re looking for flavour and texture, look elsewhere.

[On tap at Sweeney & Todd’s, Reading] My cider-drinking friends rave about this stuff, so I thought I’d give it a go. It pours pale gold and fizzy, with a small rapidly dissipating white head. Fortunately the fizz is less aggressive on the mouth than the eye. Taste is rather sour/vinegary, with some slight metallic notes, but it’s definitely more drinkable than most of its mass-market rivals - it’s quite dry, light and refreshing in fact. So, not a total write-off, but still nothing to write home about.

On tap at the Lady Luck, Canterbury. Clear, effervescent orange colour with the faintest touch of a head with no longevity. Acidic apple nose. Sweet apple flavours with a dry, sweetish finish.
