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

Bottle at Kookfest 06. Pale gold with thin white head. Industrial sweet cider aroma. Sweet apple in mouth, some juiciness. Better in mouth. Sweet apple juice.

A Mes rate. Drunk from a freezing cold plastic 33cl bottle at Dingwalls during the Camden Crawl.
Dingwalls was actually the catering venue for volunteers and workers during the event to come and get fed and watered. Somehow Kenny and I utilised the force and walked straight in and helped ourselves to free food and booze. Bloody good job this was free. It’s a crap, cheap commercial cider. Very fruity and synthetic. But free all the same.

Bottle. A very sweet/thin cider. Lots of sweet apple juice concentrate flavours and fizzy carbonation. Tastes very industrial.

Bottle, at Kookfest, September 2006. Pale gold colour. Sweet and a bit industrial but not that offensive. Would just about pass muster as a chilled summer quaffer. Any resemblance to real cider is entirely coincidental.

Bottle. Golden with some rising bubbles. Aromas are dry chemicals with light apple. Flavours are dry and artificial with mellow apple. Sticks to the palate, which is just what you don’t want.

A golden cider with carbonatation. Aroma is rather light, chemical apple juice, boring. In mouth, sparkling apple juice. with a bit of tang, light to medium bodied. 500 mL can from LCBO.
