Three From Thatchers Night At Home Cider#3 of 3. Last of the evening on a suitably hot summer's day for cider drinking, and this clear pale golden carbonated drink is sweet as expected, but with a subtlety in this respect. The apple is strong tasting with a fair aroma. Quite easy and refreshing enough.

Three From Thatchers Night At Home Cider#2 of 3. A second of the evening and the least appealing before a sup, suspicious with the added flavouring and rightly so after trying, this feels and to an extent tastes artificial in its fruity flavouring, although not the worst example of this. Sweet, it is fruity, not really for me though.

Three From Thatchers Night At Home Cider#1 of 3. Starting with the strongest and most traditional of the trio, the bottle has vintage 2022 on the rear label. It's of good quality too, sweetish, plenty of apple, which are of decent stock. Attractive in its pale golden appearance with a few blocks of ice popped in for enhancement the maturity of the fruit is particularly pleasant.

Bottle from the Scotmid. Pours clear golden with a short-lived thin white head. Aromas of medium dry apple. Taste is more of the same. Boozy finish.

500ml bottle (2025 Vintage) 8.3% ABV, local Morrisons supermarket, 5th cider in a little tasting session with myself (and no one else) on 25th June 2026. So hot I've had to come inside from the garden and sit in front of a fan. Clean and clear golden body, no head, just a wisp and white collar. Medium dry apple taste, strongest of the session at 8.3%, it's fine.
