The taste is crispy, dry, crunchy, snappy, bright green and red apple, sherbet, flying saucers, white grape juice, pretty juicy, appletiser, touch of tannin, dry oak BD some light alcohol with a tannic finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Actually quite liked this one. Nice bright combo.

Bottle. Dark amber coloured cider with a still body. The aroma is gently apple, and the flavour is quite flat with some dryness. Overall a fairly average dry cider.

Knights Cider Premium
A decent cheap cider. Semi-sweet, fresh apple taste, quite dry too. No sourness or acidity, only mild sulfur notes. Some fragrant and floral notes, and toffee. It's easily drinkable and not too harsh.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Golden coloured with a small glow. Not to flavoursome, it's strength probably plays a part in this, although it's not particularly alcohol flavoured either, with this producing a mild toffee-esque finish at first before the apple is apparent.

Knights Malvern Oak Dry Reserve
500ml bottle from Co-Op entitled 'Tillington Hills British Cider' but aliased here. Clear gold, few carbonation bubbles, looks a bit lifeless. Aroma is a musty apples, hint of oak, more promising. Taste is semi-tart apples, a touch of funky barnyard, tannins, quite dry. Moderate body but carbonation a touch too low. A mixed bag of a cider.

Knights Malvern Gold Medium Dry Reserve
Bottle from my local One-Stop in Kesgrave.Pours mid-gold with almost no head, just a few quickly diminishing bubbles during the pour. Aroma of sweet and sour apples, caramel, wood and a touch of clove. Quite heavy sweetness, light to moderate sour. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Sharp finish. Not bad though bit too sweet. NB - Only picked up that this is the medium dry reserve when reading the detail on the back of the label, on the front it just says Malvern Gold (are the 2 entries on RB for the same cider?).

Knights Malvern Oak Dry Reserve
2016 vintage as "Tillington Hills Premium British Cider" from the Co-op. The aroma is very cidery (as opposed to fruity or apple-y), also lively, slightly funky. It has that sherbet-like apple fizz that commercial ciders have. The taste is fairly dry, brisk, fruity, with a drying lightly tannic finish. decent apple notes, yellow/red, and good skin quality in the finish. The palate is dry, with medium tannins and very clean.

Bottle (back label says its Medium Dry Reserve, from comarket). Pours golden with whiteish head. The head doesn’t stay. Aroma is sour, cinnamon, apples. Flavor is sweet, sour, apples, some spicy notes, some woody notes. Finish is dry with some alcohol warmth. Carbonation is low. Overall: ok. A bit sweet maybe, but I like the dryness and low carbo combo.

Knights Malvern Gold Medium Dry Reserve
No head whatsoever, even when pouring. A few lost bubbles might count, though. Aroma of tart apples, oak-ish woody-ness of Grandpa’s old leather chair and again - a lot of apples! The taste is semi-sweet, meaning that there is the full sweetness and also the dry sourness of the apples used - quite well balanced mix of sweet, sour, aged and fresh. The mouth feels the dryness of the liquid and will not let go, although there is also the sweet side. Carbonization is moderate, body is perfect (medium)!, aftertaste lasts for a long-long time along with the puckered mouth.

500ml bottle - thanks Marduk!
Gold, brief head. Pleasant sweetish but also tartish apple juice aroma. Sweeter taste, but a nice tartness again, a little woody. Crazily drinkable as it’s so sweet. Works.

Bag in a box from the Apple Tap, Grantham. A half-shade lighter than garden variety gold. Clear as you like. Smells like vinegar... a bit yuk... but the taste improves. Bitter and sour with that gorgeous scrumpy ’bite’. Short to medium vinous finish. A lovely little cider all in all but not without issues.
