Savanna Premium Cider first Siyavanna’d in 1996. Damn, we’re older than Black Twitter. But you know in 27 years you lay down a lot of roots. And like the trees our apples are grown on, our roots go deep. Which means though a lot has changed since ’96 – the way we bring Savanna to the people hasn’t, and never will. Because Siyavanna South Africa.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from local 'HIT'. Clear, pale golden with a thin, fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, a little sourish and gently fruity aroma of apple juice and a touch of pear. Gently sweet, slightly sour, quite fruity taste of ripe apples, some pear and traces of wood, followed by a short, slightly tart, moderately dry finish. Thin to medium body, minimally astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft to average carbonation. Solid cider, quite pleasant although a little too sweet for a dry cider.

Bottle from the Booking Office. Appearance - pale yellow with a thin head. Nose - overripe but at the same time dry. Taste - juicy up front, then dry apple skins. Palate - as per nose. Not balanced. Overall - tastes like it's a blend of sweet and dry somehow.

Bottle, for the want of anything else to rate, at the Booking Office, shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours clear pale gold with a short-lived thin white head. Aromas of granny smiths apples, quite sharp. Taste is saccharine sweet, dry apples. Bit of a clash. Must be back-sweetened. Chalky finish.

Clear bottle served with a pint glass full of ice at The Doghouse Hamilton Bermuda. Clear golden yellow with a steady stream of carb bubbles. Light apple and faint brown sugary aroma and flavor with a hint of sulfur. Somewhat dry but a perception of residual sweetness. Decent hard cider.

Clear, yellow to pale golden colored, small- frothy head, only ring remains, some lacing. Aroma is of some apple juice, bit apple peel, some light tart notes, some sugar present. Taste is medium sweet sugary apple juice, bit of apple peel, light tartness, dryish finish but still some sweetness remaining. Medium bodied, soft to flat carbonation.
