Blackthorn Cider

Brewed by Matthew Clark Cider
Style: Cider
Bristol, England

Dark gold on colour. Very mild browning apple aroma. A bit of juice box apple flavor. A bit sour, with a fairly dry (thin) boozy finish. Vaguely drinkable, but there is so much lacking in the flavor and aroma department.

On tap. The absolute worst of the ciders. Sour and bitter and not becoming in any way. It also has these tiny cloudy white spots floating around.

extremely sour and dry little flavour to enjoy, drank for the effects and price not for the taste

On tap. Orange, almost still, with some white bubbles. Weak aroma with sour apples. Flavor is the same. Thin, lightly dry mouthfeel. Boring. (060711)

Dark orange body with no head. Nice sour tang, bitter, good ending. Green apple accents. Overall, much better than the typical ciders we get in the States.

275ml bottle from Morrisons and ’ice cold filtered’, supposedly dry with added sugar and sweetners, lovely. A golden colour. Aroma is of fresh rodent urine and spoiled fruit. To taste is a thin, tasteless product with plenty of sweetness. It’s not dry, it’s not cider. Awful.

ONe of only two ciders available at the LCBO. No Growers doesn’t count. A smooth tasting drink, definately better than it’s only competition Strongbow. Slightley sweeter than strongbow with less alcohol taste dispite being stronger in alcohol. To bad Magners is no longer sold at the LCBO as it was much better than this

Can from the LCBO. Clear golden-orange colour. Still body. Aroma and flavour of concentrated apple juice, sweet off the top with a moderately dry finish. Drinkable, but not especially good.
