Many thanks to beerhunter111 for sharing. Smooth mild beginning. Easy to drink, fruity with a nice carbonation. Fruity with tannins in the back, nice balanced with a subtle but nice sweetness in the end with fresh apples.

Bottle at home picked up from Sainsbury’s. A crystal clear pale yellow coloured pour with a greenish tinge, and a effervecent fading fizz. Aroma is tangy apple, little bile, stomach acid, bruised apple. Flavour is composed of sweet apple fruits, hints of artificial apple, little puky in the finish, acid, little sugary. Palate is medium light, semi crisp finish, highish carbonation. Passable.

Bottle from Premier Hele Bay, Ilfracombe. Pale yellow coloured cider with a carbonation. Has a stated nose, with a sweet apple aroma here, and its taste, whilst slightly dry and less stated in its apple, maintains a sweetness.

Bottle from Premier Hele Bay, Ilfracombe. Extremely pale green cider. It’s dry in texture, but there’s a good apple sweetness to it in its taste before dry again in its aftertaste.
