Blackthorn Cider

Brewed by Matthew Clark Cider

overcarbonated yellow piss color odd nose flavor of tangy apples thin and not that good

Sweet green apple aroma. Flavor is much like apple juice, not cider. Pretty boring overall. Can’t detect the 6% so i guess thats nice. Overly sweet. Nope.

Exclusively rubber smell. Clear yellow. Dry taste, watery, sour, and a little like piss. The one bright spot is the alcohol, if it has any, is masked. It’s just plain awful.

Immediately upon pouring i was overwhelmed by the immense amount of carbonation fizzing through the glass. Its sour aroma was matched by a sour and artificial flavour which luckily did not last long. The taste was more of wine than of beer, however, on a good note, the can, was BA.

Tap. A light and clear yellow colour with absolutely no head. Not much aroma either. Artificially sweet taste gives way to a dry and sour finish. Light on the tongue with only slight carbonation. Unremarkable and too artificial, but mildly refreshing

Cidery!!!!!!! Sweet and sour with no real body to speak of. A little bland for my cider tastes and I do like a good cider.

Golden color with a fizzy diminishing white head. Simple burnt matches and apple rind aromas. The sulfur diminishes with time but not nearly quick enough. Sweet simple candi apples. The feel is not as spritzy as the pour suggests. Dries out slightly in the finish and linger, but still simple. Still smells like a pack of burnt and extinguished matches.

A great alternate for beer. My wife likes this stuff, so it lets me spend more on MY beer! It is also pretty refreshing when it’s hot. I hate to admit it, but I kinda like the taste too.
