Saxby’s Original Cider uses a blend of bittersweet and dessert apples for a perfect balance of tannins and acidity.

First there is crisp apple which is followed by sweet rosy red skin apples. There is a touch of tannins which is then taken over by the sweetness before easing back into the dry dessert apple.

500ml bottle from Connolly's Wine Merchants. Pours a pale gold, some bubbled retention around the edges. Green apple skin aroma, some juiciness and sweet notes. Taste is sweet and somewhat sugary, apple skins to begin, fruity apple juice at the end which is slightly syrupy in note, slight dryness in finish but this is a sweet cider for the most part. Spritzy carbonation at first which I think works well with sweet ciders but this fades after a while. I enjoyed this cider but it has flaws.
