Bottle at home, as Waitrose Low Alcohol Cider, from Waitrose online 11/01/23. Clear golden with a fast escaping white cap, carbonation evident. Nose is sweet apple, sugars, caramel, straw. Taste comprises sweet apple pulp, sugars, apple skins, caramel, faint orchard wood. Light to medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Leans a touch sweet but better than I'd expected and does imitate a cider rather well.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at some Waitrose I suspect. Pours crystal clear, lightly yellow, with a little effervescence. The nose has some nice apples, a little ripendankness. Light-medium sweet flavour with subtly bitter peel, faint salty bite, a touch of acidity. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Sweet finish, with touches of sweat, further mellow acidity, ripening apple. Fun stuff, really. Very drinkable.
Thirsty!

500ml bottle, as Morrisons low-alcohol cider. From Morrisons. Chugged in the soup aisle. Pours clear gold, aroma is quite sour. Taste presents a sour tangy acidity, some medium-sweet apple fruit, bitter skins, more body and flavour than expected. Not really into the sour notes though.

Bottle from Morrisons, as Morrisons Low Alcohol Cider. Golden in colour. It doesn’t taste low in alcohol, but is also very sweet with its apple flavour. Has a less stated but decent enough nose.
