Pours a nice sparkling golden colour fairly clear with a head that disappeared pretty quickly. Aroma was pretty much just fruit. Taste was overwhelmingly sweet, light with lots of carbonation. Overall not a fan of this, but cider is not my thing anyway.

Redish pour with no head. Weak scent. Most apply of the ciders I rated tonight. Nice pleasant warming effect. Little to no aftertaste. Nice.

Not too good. Very sweet and one dimensional. Had trouble finishing this and I usually don’t mind a cider occasionally.

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.
