(On tap) NZ version made by Bulmer Harvest in Gisborne. Clear, pinkish with a small, white head. Distinct apple aroma. Medium body, lightly sweet but very clean apple notes with a vague, underlying acidity. A very decent and quaffable cider. 060208

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.

Bottled. Pale golden, brief head. Sweet red apple aroma.Sweet with clean mouthfeel. Evident but simple flavour of overripe apples. Light bodied and light flavoured. Dull and lifeless.

Bottle, 4.5%. Citric aroma. Clear golden colour. Stable white head. Sparkling. The flavour is slightly citric. Hint of apple, but not much. Weak and not citric enough.

Bottled (from K Citymarket Kivihaka, Vaasa). Golden colour, no head. Aroma is rotten apples, earth and some vegetables. Flavour is apples, earth and quite sweet pinewood. Also some slight papery and rubbery notes as it warms up.

568ml bottle from Tesco. They gave me a half price coupon with my Clubcard, so I had to buy it didn’t I? Clear orange gold with no head. Odd tangerine aroma. Rose petal/orange. Carbonated. Just bizarre. No real apple flavour at all. Metallic, over carbonated, rose/orange zest finish. Drinkable but bizarre. Not overly sweet. Bit like drinking diet lilt.

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.
