0.34L bottle, no head, golden colour. strange aroma of mushrooms and cannes tuna, maybe this would be a result of sulphur being added as stated on the bottle, also somel lgiht vinous traces. Flavour quite dry with a sourness reminiscent of apple vinegar, and also something resembeling dry soda. Smooth and easy to drink but not really good.

Still has a good strong dry aroma in spite of being "light". Looks like a real strong cider, almost identical to the regular savanna. No taste was compromised, it is great for sipping and doesn’t taste watery at all.

Smells like sweet apples with a hint of alcohol. Looks bright yellow, with some fizz. Tastes sweet to start with dry apples and a nice dry finish. But lacks complexity. It’s a good cider, surprisngly as I was expecting much worse.

Very average aroma of fermenting apples, nothing unexpected. Looks good enough with a gold-yellow tint, but there’s absolutely no head. Has a very dry taste of apples (hence the name!), goes down dry and stays dry. Honesty in advertising for sure! Otherwise there’s not much other taste, a slight apple aroma is about all you get. This is a reliable cider and certainly worth a try or three.

Aroma is not so bad with a scent of slightly dry apples. very nice orange colour, and it seems to be normal to have a lime wedge pushed into the neck. I’m not a big cider expert but this seemed pretty darn good with plenty of apple notes and a dry finish, and not too sweet. It has a good mouthfeel and is not overbearing to quaff. This seems to be a decent cider and excellent choice for everyday imbibing.

Bottle from ASDA. Golden in colour with moderate carbonation. Simple, sweet apple juice aroma. Flavour was also sweet, with some more, slightly stewed, fruit and a metallic, industrial finish. Not for me.

Light blond color. The aroma shows some plastic. It has a sweetish flavor, not really fruit, quite artificial.
