Can. A dark golden cider with a lazing off-white. The aroma is sweet and acidic with lots of apples. The flavor is sweet apply leading to a slightly tart finish.

Light, fizzy, overwhelmed by sulphites in both aroma and flavour. Sweetish finish. Would be blandishly acceptable were it not for the sulphites.

Draught
Skunky cider, very dry mouthfeel, poor and useless. Undrinkable.

Exceelent when trying to get burst in a club, but must be mixed with blackcurrant, which makes it taste like peanut butter, never a bad thing, hahaha.

Bottle (Dry Blackthorn)... Clear, light golden cider with no head. White wine and fresh red apple aroma. Tastes a bit like a dry Brut Champagne. Minimal residual sweetness and good acidity. Medium-bodied with modest carbonation. Tangy, bone-dry finish. I look at all the other descriptions of this cider, written by folks I know and whose judgments I trust... and am surprised and confused. Something doesn’t jive regarding all the sweetness others are encountering. Hmmm? The bottle even states that it’s brewed and bottled in Somerset England by Taunton Cider. Must be an old bottle!
