Appearance: Clear gold with a small white frothy head of medium retention. Aroma and taste: Simple clean apples with skin. Medium dry, light to medium sour. Mouth feel: medium minus body, average to lively carbonation. Overall: Pretty basic. Drinkable.

50cl can from B&M.
Very thin white head. Clear golden pour. A very average cider.

500ml can. Gold with fizzy head, a ringed retention which disappeared half way through. Aroma of stewed apples, farmyard oak and sulphur; not exactly fresh but promising enough for a cheap cider. Taste was disappointing, a stewed green apple, still slightly tart but very watery. There is a long dry finish but it doesn't really carry forward with any flavour. Body is decent and carbonation average. Its drinkable, not unpleasant, but a poor cider nonetheless.

500ml can, thanks to Danlo. Pours clear pale gold, thin white ring remaining. Sweet syrup on the nose. Taste presents sweet, syrup, with a generic artificial cider flavouring that's been used in Strongbow and the like for years. Rubbish.

500ml can from B&M, Darlington. Pale golden colour, white foam head that dissipates away and aroma of green apple, syrupy note. Taste is sweetish, fleshy green apple, cordial-like, then drying. Thin watery mouthfeel, light bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry slightly tart green apple finish. Kind of OK.
