Has there ever been a commercial song about the London Underground, I can't think of one. I do think this cider is edging close to tasting as watery as it looks. That's not entirely fair as it does have a very light sweet elderflower flavour, and also a tiny of yellow in appearance. Smooth but you can't help think it's generally understated.

Stonehenge is a fantastic experience despite the fact they've been moving visitors away from it over the years, I do feel they should buy The Grizwalds hire car from European Vacation to enhance the Visitors Centre experience though. This is an enhanced cider despite not having much in the way of cocktail flavours, but it's very smooth and appealing in the palate.

Süßer Beginn, der eher an Apfelsaft erinnert. Ab dem Mittelteil holzig, etwas weniger süß, die Holzigkeit nimmt schnell ab. Süß, kurzer Abgang. 8/7/7/7/9/7

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers GB. Aroma of raspberry summer fruits squash and pear. Flavour is of summer fruits squash and not really a lot else. Very smooth and limited carbonation. I like it.

Sample from Grumbo, cheers GB. Aroma of apple and caramel. Taste is very sweet, possibly too sweet. The sugar overpowers the apples. Not really a fan.
