Can delivered from Englandshire via Leighton. Thank you! Cask strength white cider. Burnt toast, caramel cardboard, dull apple. The flavour is terrible but it isn't full of fusels at least.

Tap at Centurion, Newcastle as Gaymers Apple Cider. Golden colour, white foam head and sugary apple aroma. Taste is sweet apple, sugary with some light tannin. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry finish with residual sweetness. OK

16.9 oz can. Clear gold pour with a tiny white head and no retention or lacing. Soda-looking. Tastes like tart apple champagne. Crisp. Too dry for my liking. 6.0 ABV is well hidden.

500 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a small and fast disappearing white head. Aroma is ripe apple, a hint of wood and sulphites. Flavor is sweet, ripe apple, syrup, mild hint of wood, some harsh sulphite. Medium body and medium aftertaste with the same flavors. I find this too sweet, a bit harsh and not very fresh at all.

Golden color, white head that quickly dissapears. Aroma and flavor has a good presence of alcohol. No apple notes...

Bottle @ Hele Billies, Ilfracombe. Pale golden with a light carbonation. Has a light, sticky-sweet apple taste, but a very ordinary one. Its aroma is light too.

500 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Sauda. ABV is 5%. Clear golden colour, pours fizzy with a small and short-lived white head. Decent aroma of cider apples, oak and sulphites. Light bodied, slightly watery mouthfeel. Dry flavour, cider apples and a hint of sulphites. Short finish.
