Tap at the Marquis Cornwallis in Bloomsbury. Copper tinged gold color. Fine white head that laced lightly. Near medium body. Very fresh apple flavor. Just a touch of skin. Nice apple aroma. Lightly sweet throughout. The brut champagne of English ciders.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a quickly diminishing and lacing white head. Mild phenol apple aroma. Sweet apple flavour with a lot of sugarish notes following. Light acidic to citric touch before the finish. Medium sweet finish, non-artificial - nice.a

Label says Select Vat Matured, a bit more smooth than the normal original - I didn’t find this as sugarish either.

UK pint bottle. Copper color with small head. Fruity and flowery aroma with old apple scent. Sweet a bit sugary flavor with ripe apple sand mild acidity. Fairly sweet and easy, yet retains a hint of traditional english cider character.

CAN: Pale golden. Clear. No head. Red apples woth vague notes of yeast. Has the sort of taste that reminds me of slightly old (overdue) and dry apples.

Bottle. Clear, deep golden color. Big, mostly lasting foamy head, quite unusual for a cider. Medium sweet aroma of ripe apples with an acidic twist. A more prononced sweetness in the flavor. Ripe apples again, a little artificial taste maybe, with metallic notes. Light to medium body, high carbonation level. Fairly clean mouthfeel. A decent cider.
