This is the English version of champagne-style cider, dry and sparkling with balanced acids. Perfect for a special occasion, Somerset is aged for more than a year to become completely dry.

Tasting at Matt’s
So pale that is near to water. Vinous aroma, delicate, a bit flowery, light fruity touch, but also a hint of cork. Dry, acidic, and empty, no remarkable flavor, and a bit astringent in the final.
One more American poor cider that doesn’t go anywhere.

Bottle - Some green apple and sulphur. Very clear. Apple peel, blight bitterness and a dry finish. No bubbles at all, not worth the hype.

750mL bottle, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is bone dry, with champagne-like effervescence and super dry apples. Flavour is very restrained, with bone dry apples and maybe a touch of champagne wildness. Don't get any of the high alcohol. Not very complex at all. The carbonation is surprisingly underwhelming -- barely carbonated. Not bad, but very underwhelming. Disappointing.

Vintage 2006, red label. Cloudy white yellow, very sparkly. Champagne dry, light floral apple and citrus. Very nice subtle dry flavors, definitely comparable with a good champagne. Super nice.

Hazy beige-yellow colour. Aroma is of apple skins, hint of brown sugar and sulphite. Soft and bubbly, with a rounded apple flavour, sweet edge and only a hint of alcohol coming in late, this is probably the most accessible but also the best-crafted Merridale’s product yet.
