On keg at Mahons Hotel, Irvinestown. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - light citrus and sweetcorn. Maybe a bit grassy. Taste - citrus and pale malt. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a sold lager.

Clear golden colour with no head. A very basic and sweet cider. The type that leaves a stale taste in the mouth.

Bottle shared in Watford - bought on sale at some Tesco. Vintage 2011. Pours clear, deep orange with a reddish tint and a frothy film. Decent aroma, actually, with semi-ripe apples, some apple sauce. Medium sweet flavour with flinty notes, a slight artificial tang, juicy apples. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Not nearly as bad as I had feared.

Bottle, 2011 vintage thanks to Leighton. It pours clear gold with a reddish hue and white head. The aroma is sweet, sugary, sweet apple, touch of apple skin and tannins. The taste is crisp, flat, sugary, apple, candy, touch of tang, hint of tannins with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Thankfully not as sweet as I feared. Not great.

Bottle shared at the Watford tasting, many thanks to Leighton? A weird reddy iramfe clear coloured pour with a fading white head. Aroma is artificial, dry apple, tangy apple hint of bile. Flavour is composed of dry apple, semi sweet, artificial apple, mineral. Palate is thin, spritzy carbonation, semi sweet. Terrible.

500ml bottle. Pours clear gold, sparkling. Aroma is syrupy sweet commercial cider. Taste is much of the same, with a rich golden full-flavour, but far too cloying and sickly sweet. Cider for the masses.

(Can 0,5l) (brother brought from Ireland)
Clear, light orange-golden color. Quickly done, white head. Sweet aroma of apples, champagne-like, wine. Taste is sweet with apples. Very fizzy carbonation. Sweet, dry finish. Quite sweet but refreshing.
