Pours a clear amber with moderate sized white head, nice retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, some sweetness, hay and metal. Taste of caramel, banana, malt and grassy hops. Just tastes stale to me, not very tasty at all. Medium bodied, slightly cloying maltiness. Poor show by Waitrose.

Bottle from Waitrose Pours a clear gold, brief fizz. Aroma of oak and tangy apples. Taste is dry tangy red apples, quite sugary sweet with a slight bitterness to offset. Has a slightly cheap processed feel to like most supermarket branded ciders but its ok.

Bottle. Clear pale yellow, brief fizz. Aroma of apple juice, skins, some syrup, wood. Taste of apples, sugar, wood, light funk, drying close. Medium oily body, moderate carbonation. Not bad. Its ok but M&S commission better own branded beers and ciders. Waitrose need to step up their game.

2019 vintage, so I was tempted not to review it when I found the bottle, but it aged quite well. Darkish golden pour with very little carbonisation, aromas of red apples, hint of sweetness, taste is apple, some oak and a hint of spices. Not bad
