Bottle from ASDA, Keighley. Pale golden with a lovely soft texture belying its strength, which in turn gives it a full mouthfeel without its high percentage being obvious. It's not too stated in its apple but a light red variety sweetness is evident.

Hand-pulled half-pint in Pheasant Inn & Brewpub, Wellington Shropshire on 3rd August 2022. Apples, Big Apples, loads of them in this semi-dry and tasty cider.

Hazy straw colour with a short-lasting bubbly white head and sweet apples on the nose. Softly fizzy, sweet apples with bit of tart peel in the mix and an almost floral edge in the finish

Clear and golden, plenty of bubbles, small bubbly white head and sweetish apples on the nose. Highly carbonated, medium sweet apple taste, some slight tartness coming through before a dry finish. I'm no cider expert, I know this is not the greatest quality example, but it's tasty and refreshing and does the job for me on a hot sunny day
