440ml can. Clear pale yellow. Aroma of fresh apple and skins. Taste is the same, fresh apple and light tart skins, leans toward the sweet side, very crisp. Really nice thirst-quenching cider.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Pale yellow colour, no head. Aroma is green apple skins, some sugary tones with mild nectar as well. Flavour is dry sweetish, but a bit tartish apples. Dry palate. Pleasant!

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - watery, with steady carbonation. Nose - dry green and red apple skin. Taste - tangy rhubarb and sweet red apple. Palate - light bodied, sweet and tangy, middle and finish. Overall - nice, if a little sweet for the body.

Keg @ Little Swift, Margate. Clear pale golden with a small carbonation. It is fairly sweet, but a dryness subdues this, however its apple is good and lingers in its aftertaste.
