Bottle from Waitrose, Stroud. Pale gold and very fizzy. I’m with Hughie on this one. The sweet, semi-industrial apple aroma suggested this was a poor bottled cider, like something Thatchers routinely produce. However, the zesty, juicy apple flavours with a decent tart edge in the finish saved the day. Drinkable.

Bottle that I picked up at Waitrose, Great Shelford, Cambridge, consumed 21-06-09 Pours pale golden, livley carbonation. The nose is a touch sweet, but its reassuringly very appley. Tangy apple bite with some good tartness, its a refreshing crisp cider with enough to keep me interested. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Blond color; very nice perlage. Good, close to a sparkling wine, but not very complex. The El Gaitero Extra is better.
