Cask at The Railway Inn, Sandford. Lovely pub and the home of Thatchers. This cider was spot on for a boiling day despite dulled senses. Boozy rotting apples aroma. Gold and cold and still look. So incredibly smooth, like drunk copella. (26/5/26).

Can partagée avec Maria.
Rosé, col effervescent bien pétillant rosé peu tenace.
Caractère fruité des pommes - acerbe tout en ayant une pointe de fruits rouges en support - sans tomber dans un effet trop sucré - petite note de douceur en support.
C'est frais, fruité pas vraiment une grosse nouveauté dans le monde du cidre.

Thatchers Apple & Blackcurrant Cider 4%
Purple color with fuzzy pinkish-purple foam. The aroma is blackcurrant and this medium bodied brew delivers nice flavor but this is the least cider like of the three.
Still a tasty drop.

First up is:
Thatchers Juicy Apple Cider 4%
I’d say this is a semi-sweet standard large scale cider. Smoother than the strongbow I drank when in the Uk ages ago.

Can on a ferry from Isle of Mull to Oban. I looked this up and no, it’s not just apple juice. It’s fermented and then the alcohol is removed. Anyway, it has a light apple aroma. The flavor is lightly sweet with apples and a bit if floral character. Frankly it’s better than I expected.
