dragnet101	3.1 Thatchers Apple & Blackcurrant Cider Bottle from Asda. Purple pour with brief pink hued head. Big blackcurrant aroma - part fresh pithiness / part cordial sweetness. Taste has a decent blackcurrant - much better freshness than most berry ciders, some apple juice, finish is a bit sugary sweet although not as artificial as some. Slick body, not cloying, average carbonation - works well for the style. Wednesday, February 28, 2024
Scopey	3 Thatchers Katy Cider 500ml bottle from Asda online. It pours clear very pale gold with a fizzy white head. The aroma is sweet, rotten fruit, musty, light manure, overly ripe, white sugar, apple crumble with custard, apple skin and a touch of red fruits. The taste is crispy, firmly dry, snappy, apple, skin, light tannin, crunchy red apple, kick of heady alcohol, touch of acidity, white sugar, over ripe apples, apple skin and some rawness/sharpness with a dry, fairly boozy finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Has some decent elements to it - the crispness and crunchy apple, but it is all over the place and has some roughness. Not bad cold but as it warmed more of a challenge. Wednesday, February 21, 2024
Scopey	2.9 Thatchers Old Rascal (4.5%) Bottle from Asda I think. It pours oily amber with a medium foamy white head.

The taste is sweet, juicy, crunchy apple, apple juice from concentrate, apple pie, touch of oak tannin, brown sugar, some custard and some leafiness with a short, sweet finish. Medium body and moderate, fizzy carbonation. Fairly sweet and one dimensional. Drinks ok though. Friday, February 16, 2024
