On tap @ the Mabie Hotel. Pours amber/orange with no head. The nose is of dry apples. The taste is of more dry, maybe stewed apples too. The palate generally works well - a decent amount of body through the start and middle and a very dry finish. For a massively produced and distributed cider this tastes fine.

Can, probably from Geoffrey’s of London, Antibes (http://www.geoffreysoflondon.com/) Gold-amber body, extremely fizzy, medium sized white head. Burnt popcorn nose, more of the same in the taste, only with light apple and acidity. It’s basically crap (even overrating it a little I reckon) and I can see why the West Country people were pissed off when it came out.

09/10 0.44 l can from an English shop in Antibes. It poured golden body with smaller head that went down quite fast. Burned rubber stench, flavor about the same as well, weak, boring, without aftertaste. Well, I don’t want another rubbergum anyway! And they even dare to say improved taste on the can! Ughhh, what crap this is!

Can, Spar. Golden colour, no head. Aroma of sour apple and wheat smell ’brinta’ . Flavour is similar, with sweet ending. Not too good.
