Bulmers Original

568ml bottle, brown. Deep golden yellow colour, next to no head but some lacing. Medium carbonation, oily(!) mouth feel. Aroma of fresh, citric apples and some booze. Medium-dry taste of ripe apples, again with a welcome citric note. It is not "sugary", as some people claim - clearly, people who have never tasted any other ciders before (ever tried Kopparberg?). Fruit and a slight citric bitterness are well-balanced, and the sour note lingers, as does the noticeable, but well-integrated alcohol. A real "session cider", if there is such a thing. Do not confuse with the Irish "Bulmers" cider, which is sold in England and internationally as "Magners" - this here is the original English Bulmers cider. Well, they’re all owned by Heineken anyway - but they don’t taste the same - Magners is sweeter! Very good "recreational" drink.

Bottle. This is a golden peach colour. It has a mild, sweet aroma of fresh apples. Mouthfeel is crisp, bubbly on the tongue, medium in body. It tastes of sweet then slightly tart, fresh apple with a slight, lingering finish.

Pours golden yellow slight head. Sweet fruity aroma. Strong apple flavour, slightly alcoholic. Dry finish. Cider sucks.

It is a warm golden cider with a white head. The aroma has a light sweetness and acidity, it’s mild with notes of apple. The flavour has a light sweetness and it’s rather dry. It has notes of slightly sour apple, it’s mild and very uncomplicated.

[2320-20090719] 568mL bottle. Fresh flower apples aroma. Clear, light pink yellow body with a medium-lasting foamy white head. Sweet sugary yeast apples flavour. Medium body. Odd sugary apple but fair.

2009-07-19. Crisp yellow body with white foam. Muted, mildly musty apples in the aroma. Flavour is mild, sweet apples, generic sweetness. Average to light bodied palate. Okay for a mainstream cider but its a bit dull. Bottle from LCBO

Bland example, little in the way of apples on the nose, sweet palate with a hint of fruit, finish is minimal. Actually bought for cooking....it was cheap!
