Apple juice with a bubbly / frothy white head. Starts out fresh and appley, turns a bit with a slight thickness to it, sweet apple juice with a touch of acidity in the finish.

Bottle from the gift shop at Black Country Living Museum. Clear gold, some white foam which hangs around a little. Tangy apple juice aroma with light funk and skins. Taste has a semi-tart apple juice, skins, slight vanilla creaminess. Slick body. Its good although lacks the lumps of rat poo mentioned by Wortlegion26's review below. That would certainly have elevated this cider to another level.

Bottle from Battlefield 1403, Shrewsbury. Pale golden coloured. Has a very sweet apple nose, and a sweet taste too that hides its strength, but this weakens in its aftertaste.

Bottle shared in London - care of David. Pours clear, very pale yellow. Sugary apples in the nose, a few hints of citrus, a little funk. Medium sweet flavour with some artificial apples, doughy pale bread. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Sugary finish, more phony apple character, minimal bitterness. Not the best. A bit industrial.
