Cask. Orange colour, not much head. Carrot orange juice with some mild cheesy and appleish notes. Flavour is quite much the same.

Bottle from the fridge (forgot where this was picked up from) had this 14-07-08 after the Prince William Cider Pours quite light golden colour, there is a light appleyness on the nose but again sweet and the bubbles keep hitting my nose which is off putting but amusing. Its tasty enough but not the best of their single varietals.

Bottle picked up from Vale Brewery shop, Brill, Bucks Pours nice sparkly clear warm golden colour, plenty of carbonation. Taste is initially sweet, its quite refreshing and in the mouth is soft tasting but their is an appley bite that comes through after. I applaud the fact that Thatchers do so many single variety ciders even if this was is rather run of the mill and lacking the sharpness or tanginess of some of the others.

Bottle. Clear golden color with a small white head that disappears right away. A rather nice aroma of green apples and some oak. Flavor is sweet (kind of artificial-like) with apples and some sourish notes. Light to medium-bodied. Not that bad, but also not very pleasant. This is my first Cider, and it seems like it wasn’t the right one to kick off my Cider drinking/rating career.
