Addlestones Premium Cloudy Cider

Brewed by Matthew Clark Cider
Style: Cider
Bristol, England

A Mes rate: Cask up the Junction. Cloudy yellow looks. Nose is eggy and sweet. Artificial sugary flavour. Almost no apple to detect. Palate is poor. In fact it’s just poor all round.

On tap at the Albion N1. I’m not normally a cider drinker, so this rate might reflect my ignorance. The drink was (unsurprisingly) cloudy orange in the glass, no head, and no carbonation bubbles. Flat as a mill pond. It didn’t really have an aroma, a mild musty apple smell but that was all. I want a cider to explode apples into my mouth; this one leeched a musty taste of stale apple juice. Not disgusting, but not what you want out of a cider. Easy to drink though, I wasn’t aware that it was 5%, but that isn’t enough to make me go back to it. Over all its not offensive, but not really worth bothering with.

OMG , opened a bottle last night , strong smell of fake apple aroma ? rumour has it the cloudy effects a additive of fish industry by products ? after 2 mouthfulls i decided to pour this down the toilet and get out my cask of real unadulterated farmhouse , i recommend you do the same . less chemical more apple, thank god for the real farmhouse brewerys

Great Stuff! Might only be 5% but wouldn’t recommend drinking 4 pints a trying to find a tube station, phew! mission Impossible!!!

Bottle. Cloudy orange. Aromas are apple juice with hints of caramel and wood. Dry and processed. Flavours are sweet and lightly zesty apple. Dry and sour on the finish. Tastes too artificial for my liking.

Bottle. Bright orangey looking cider with a light apple aroma. The flavour is tangy to start with but weak at the finish. Overall an average drink spoilt by the weakish apple juice finish.

Bottle. Real cider appearance plus bubbles - the best of both worlds. Some fruity apple with a hint of indust alcohol and fruity (almost belgian) yeast. Slightly sweety and not too carbonated. Not too bad but the hints of its processed nature prevent me from enjoying it.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Cloudy warm golden colour, some apple on the nose but not a great deal. Like the Westons Hernys Vintage I had before this was very easy drinking and all the more refreshing, quite smooth and yet it still had just enough appley bite to make it most enjoyable. A very nice cider that I could scoff down a few of.
