Bottle from the back of the cupboard, which I had forgotten about! I think from Beers of Europe. Pours clear pale yellow with no head. Light dry apple juice aroma. Light sweet taste. Pretty standard gear.

Bottle. Straw-golden, clear, low foam. Aroma: sourish + sweet apple, clean and fairly refined. Taste: apple, a little bit sour, but more sweet apples, and not too dry, a little metallic, softly.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Dani. Pours clear pale yellow with a frothy white head. Not a good cider. Sugary and artificial, with an odd peppery note. Medium bodied, oily, and soft. Sugary, syrupy finish. Not good.
