Bottle from Sainsburys drunk on train on way home from work. Some trad scrumpy aroma. Better than the Thatchers Gold I just had. This has touch more character. Touch of sweetness yes. But its fine. A pleasant apple fruit led slightly commercial cider.

On tap at Samuel Peto JDW Folkestone. Clear pure gold colour thin collar of white bubbles. Some stewed apple aroma. Bit sweet in mouth and then some acidity on the finish. Decent carbonation. Lacks a little character and is slightly too sweet but perfectly acceptable. Its a cider. Better than what you used to get in pubs mind

On tap at the Cotham Porter Stores, Bristol 29/12/10. Pale, hazy gold with moderate carbonation. Dry aroma with a hint of fruit and wood. Flavour was tart and slightly sour, with a hint of fruit and dry finish. The driest keg cider I can recall, but not particularly enjoyable.

75cl bottle at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. I’m tempted to submit the same rating as Fin as he more or less digested all my thoughts in a shorter space of time. Well it’s pink. Clear reddish pink. I mean you can’t get away from the fact that it looks like a Zinfendel Blush. Slight sweet strawberry flavour with some apple fruit flavour and if you really try some apple skin yeast flavour. In mouth, a touch empty with sweetish Rose wine fruit. But there is some dryness on the finish. Slightly sweet, just oddness. A rose wine/cider.

Cloudy, yellow. Slightly honeyish apple aroma with some sulphur-pedio action. Taste is bland apple with some acid tartness and again a little raunchy stuff.
