As has already been mentioned, surely this is just apple juice? Or is it fermented apple juice with the alcohol then removed, leaving some residual qualities from the cider-making process? God knows! Anyways, drank this during our works rounders event in the field round the corner from the fcatory, it's clear and golden with an almost sickly sweet fruity aroma, somewhat fizzy, sweet apples with no acidity

Can from ASDA Supermarket, Manchester. Hazy pale yellow with a mostly lemon aroma and taste but its apple is evident too. Not too sweet. Also had this as my first drink on the island of Guernsey in its keg version.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Cider#3. POOLE. I first went to Poole with its curious pedestrian high street railway crossing back in 1990. Sort of a sight! This cider is sort of spiced, quite lowly so allowing an apple sweetness through. Golden glowing with plenty of carbonation.

Fra cask på The Luttrell Arms Dunster, sammen med Steven: lett uklar oransjegylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Deilig aroma og enda bedre smak av epler, litt appelsinemarmelade og hint kanel. Lav karbonering og høy nytelse.
