33 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and pale yellow with a fully diminished white head. Dry and acidic apple aroma. Sweet apple flavour with a mild acidic touch and a mild off-note that isn’t sulphorish as such. Ends sugarish sweet and refreshing.

(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) 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. 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.
