(Bottle 34 cl) Clear golden with no head. Lightly tart but discreet apple aroma. Light in body, some acidity and an artificial sweetness, but not many traces of apples. Lightly tart finish. Actually quite quaffable without the same amount of off flavours as the original Savanna, probably because this doesn’t have many flavours at all.... 110508

(Bottle 34 cl) Clear golden with a rough, white head. Tart and lightly exotic fruit aroma. Medium-bodied with perfumy fruit accents which by now appears to be the typical Hunters approach. Tart’n’sweet finish. Very commercial and highly drinkable cider. 030508

(Bottle 34 cl) Pours a clear golden with a small, white head. Sweetish and lightly perfumy fruit aroma - not distinctly apple accents though. Very fizzy and sweet with a vitamin C like acidity. Also perfumy fruit flavours. 030508

(Bottle 34 cl) Clear golden with a tall, dense, bubbly white head. The usual - for Hunter’s - perfumy fruit aroma. Medium body, sweetish hard to define perfumy fruit flavours. Sweetish/tart finish with some alcohol. Reminds me a lot of most other ciders in the Hunter’s range. 030508

Bottled. Clear pale golden, ultra-brief head. Citric nose. Dryish and citric but thin and metallic. Some refreshing green apples, some candy. Light and quite refreshing, but a bit lifeless and thin.

Bottled. Pale golden, no head. Aroma of straight apple juice. Lightky dry with some candyish weetness underneath. Very simple, with a simple juice flavour. It stays away from being cloying making it a tolerable industry cider.

Bottled. Pale yellow, no head. Aroma of viola, bubblegum and fusels. Sweet and lemonady with lots of esters. Artificial and strange with an array of odd flavours - lychee, viola nd peach. That "Extra Dry" is something I don’t get...
