Keg at The Victoria, Woodham. Aroma ianlight... sweet apple juice and some peel. Clear copper gold. Scant translucent white head. Medium-sweet, I guess..sugary sweetness with a dry sour edge. Light. Thin..Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish..basic macro cider. At least it's refreshing.

Half pint at the Black Lion in Brighton is a clear gold with a ring of sudsy head. Nose has apples... some sulfur, some candy. Flavor loses the sulfur and its pure apple and candy. Off dry finish. Decent enough.

Clear yellow pour with quite a bit of carbonisation. Taste is the right balance of tart and sweetness, but towards the end I had the impression that some sugar had been added. Not bad overall.

Draft. A- Apple, mild vanilla. A- Yellow color, clear liquid, minimal head. T- Apple, mild vanilla, faint sweetness, slightly floral. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- My wife's go to on our Ireland trip. Good on ice. Not bad for a mass produced cider. Not crazy sweet.

Golden coloured, with a slight haze, a tiny bubbly white head and sweetish apples on the nose. Well carbonated, sweet apple taste, with a side of funky tartness going on

3/12/2021. Can sample courtesy of SHIG. Pours clear very pale gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of sweet apple juice, vanilla, flowers, apple pie, caramel, touch of marzipan. Medium plus sweetness, light tartness. Moderate body, oily texture, low carbonation. Slightly mucky finish. Quite liked it.

Can, barely able to try as MrsSHIG really likes this one and brought it back for herself more than me: Poured a carbonated golden with bubbles and white head. Aroma is sweet apple. Taste is more of that carbonations, sweet, apple, some peels in the finish that break up the sweetness.

Keg at Dockray Hall, Penrith. Tastes of watery economy apple juice. Maybe just a waft of apple skin. Sweetish and a little bland. Sits somewhere between the old mass market industrial ciders (eg Strongbow) and the newer mass market pretend craft ciders (eg Stowford Press, Cornish Gold), both in terms of taste and quality. As a result it's not great, but it's not totally horrible either.
