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.

Bottle from ASDA, Keighley. Pale golden with a lovely soft texture belying its strength, which in turn gives it a full mouthfeel without its high percentage being obvious. It's not too stated in its apple but a light red variety sweetness is evident.

500ml bottle from the Old Horse, Leicester. Light straw, close to clear with lots of visible carbonation. Sweet and vaguely appley aroma. Taste is just as sweet but it's got more personality with a touch of appleskin 'bite'. There's the makings of a good cider here but it's been overproduction to take any soul out of it.
