500ml bottle from Sainsbury's around the corner. Drunk at home. Very light gold, very clear. Lots of bubbles. Light aroma, slightly chemical and somewhat suggestive of apples. Taste is okay, with some sour apple tang before the incredibly short finish. Water and nothing in the aftertaste. Heavily carbonated. Substandard.

Bottle at Zwarte Ruiter served with ice and lemon which I managed to dump. Clear light golden with small white head. Dry apple, soft apple peel, soft herbal, kiwi fruit, mineral. A bit watery, but decent dry apple character. Light sweet and bitter, very light tart. Medium bodied and medium dry. A bit bland but not a bad cider.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from local 'HIT'. Clear, pale golden with a thin, fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, a little sourish and gently fruity aroma of apple juice and a touch of pear. Gently sweet, slightly sour, quite fruity taste of ripe apples, some pear and traces of wood, followed by a short, slightly tart, moderately dry finish. Thin to medium body, minimally astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft to average carbonation. Solid cider, quite pleasant although a little too sweet for a dry cider.

Sundowner på safari, Mabula Game Lodge feb-20: klar, lys strågul med kort skum, kort smak og enda kortere ettersmak. Uniquely forgettable.

Bottle from the Booking Office. Appearance - pale yellow with a thin head. Nose - overripe but at the same time dry. Taste - juicy up front, then dry apple skins. Palate - as per nose. Not balanced. Overall - tastes like it's a blend of sweet and dry somehow.
