Gaymers Original Cider

Brewed by Matthew Clark Cider
Style: Cider
Bristol, England

500ml the LCBO. Pretty light pour, its very very pale yellow. Aroma of slightly sour apple juice. Flavour is more of the same, really nothing worth talking about here, won’t be buying it again.

Can from the LCBO 500 ml- Another one of the new ciders at the LCBO, this pours clear sparkling golden with a very fizzy, but short lived white head. Nose of wet paper, faint apple juice, some tin. Tastes of watery sparkling apple juice, some metallic notes...slightly floral. Pretty bland, overly carbonated...no reason to pick this one up again.

Can (500ml). Shared by blankboy with me and biegaman. Clear gold, smallish head. Smells like cheap sparking wine and apple cores. Tastes ... weak, oxidized apples, paper - bleah. Sticky, weak carbonation, harsh finish - no thanks.

Clear dark yellow colour, small white head. Aroma has slight apple. Flavour has sweet apple juice and some phenoles. Dry and watery finish.

Draught, "cold-filtered". Citric macro cider aroma. Clear golden colour, sparkling. Citric and slightly sweet flavour. Usual macro cider only slightly sweeter.

Sweet dried fruit on the aroma. Not bad on that front but then you taste it... weak and sickly sweet perfumy flavour. Wait... I think it tastes a bit like a cherry popsicle. I think I’ll give it a bonus on originality for that but otherwise it’s very meh.

568ml bottle, served chilled. Clean effervescent yellowish body, large beading. Chalky apple aroma, some breadiness, not particularly pungent. Thin body, spritzy carbonation, verging on the sweet side, not particularly tart. Sweetened apple juice flavour, a touch carboardy/yeasty, abrupt finish. Something seems amiss with this one.
