29/11 0.5 l can courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured golden body with medium head, staying up longer than ciders usually do. Fine cidery aroma, sourish vinous. Apple flavor as well, sour, corky and somewhat dusty. Medium bodied with sourish, long and astringent finish. Pretty fine for English ciders, it feels more natural, like French ones. Still, nothing special.

0.5l can shared with heavy. A thanks goes to Filip who brought it from London! Poured a golden body with a tiny white head that went away fast. The nose is complex but the complexity probably isn’t one of its stronger points... slightly soapy, corky (in a bad way), acidic, buttery, vinuous in a way, maybe carrying notes of alcohol too. The taste isn’t all that brilliant either, slightly acidic and corky/dusty again. Watery in a away, acidic and dry near the end. Kinda drinkable and better than some British industrial ciders, shows some character too, but still unimpressive.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Golden coloured with moderate carbonation. Apple pulp aroma with a touch of caramel. Sweet apple juice flaovur, with a hint of wood and medium finish. Ok, if a bit industrial.

Can. Clear golden yellow with a small amount of head. Decent appley aroma with a hint of champagne. Medium body with with champagne like carbonation. Flavour is basic apples, nothing complex, but I detect grapes also. Whilst not dry by scrumpy standards, it pleasantly strikes a reasonable balance. It’s a drinkable mainstream cider but nothing special (but I don’t driunk a lot of cider, so these are not knowledgeable comments.)

Draft. A light golden cider. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet with strong notes of pears, leading to a dry pear finish.

Very weak fruity aroma, maybe some faint hint of apples in there, but I’m not sure. Has no real head, but that may be intentional. Has a nice sweet taste, apple flavour, very sweet finish, but kind of watery. Okay mouthfeel, and just an okay cider.
