Blackthorn Cider 4.7%

Brewed by Matthew Clark Cider
Style: Cider
Bristol, England

Can, probably from Geoffrey’s of London, Antibes (http://www.geoffreysoflondon.com/)
Gold-amber body, extremely fizzy, medium sized white head. Burnt popcorn nose, more of the same in the taste, only with light apple and acidity. It’s basically crap (even overrating it a little I reckon) and I can see why the West Country people were pissed off when it came out.

09/10 0.44 l can from an English shop in Antibes. It poured golden body with smaller head that went down quite fast. Burned rubber stench, flavor about the same as well, weak, boring, without aftertaste. Well, I don’t want another rubbergum anyway! And they even dare to say improved taste on the can! Ughhh, what crap this is!

Can. Nice deep clear golden colour. Sweet squeezed apple juice aroma with rubber. Good mouthfeel. Sweet apple juice flavour with a mild sourness and something woodish.

can. red-yellow, no head. apple, rubber, sweetness in the aroma. flavor is fermented apple, not much sourness, some dryness. palate is sparkling

Can, Spar. Golden colour, no head. Aroma of sour apple and wheat smell ’brinta’ . Flavour is similar, with sweet ending. Not too good.

I*ve bought it at 8&8 deli. Straw color, small fizzy head. Aroma of fermented, sourish apples, some mustz perfume. The sourish apple dominates the flavor, minimal wooden character, some tannin. Sourish, short aftertaste. Forgettable one...

Canned, from Lidl Finland. Golden colour, no head. Aroma is sour and rotten apples along with quite strong wooden notes. Also some slight vanilla. Flavour is apples, wood and some slight notes of sap and vanilla. Quite sour oaky/wooden aftertaste.
