Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - deep amber, almost lava coloured. No bubbles. Nose - dry, sour apples. Slight yeasty note. Taste - more of the same and with a woody note at the back. Palate - medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - tastes like proper cider. No bubbles and properly sour.

Bottle from Tesco and drunk at home. Clear gold, no head. Oaky woody apple aroma. Some dryness. Good apple woody character. Yep pretty good I thought, went well with my salmon, coleslaw and rice salad.

Bottle. Although it has a high strength, this only serves to enhance the apple flavours and body rather than being detrimental to taste or texture. It has an ordinary nose but makes up for it with a good lingering appleness in the palate. Light golden appearance.

75cl bottle from somewhere I can’t remember. One of those neglected bottles at the back of the cider shelf. Well tonight is your night Knights, Malvern Gold. Also it’s the only "Award Winning" cider I’ve ever seen that a) doesn’t have a hyphen between award and winning and b) doesn’t state the award it’s won. Which must say a lot about the award it’s won. Perhaps the award for worst cider? Well, first sip rules that out. This is a fairly rich, well-rounded medium sweet. Not of the higher quality I expected from a ’medium reserve’ but when it’s bottled for Aston Manor, home of Frosty Jacks, I guess I shouldn’t expect much. Still, not bad.
