Tap@RaiDOrSalisbury. Hmmm, I like my cider to be authentic, sourish and yeasty. This is pretty bland and has none of that. Pretty neutral actually and that makes it easy to drink. But that’s it.

On gravity at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 15/06/08. Cloudy pale yellow in colour with no head. Aroma of tart apples, cloves and yeast. Flavour started sweet before more spice and a dry finish. My understanding is that Thatchers produce this for Moles nowadays - the commercial description’s reference to Somerset would seem to support this.

Gravity dispense at Bedford Beer Festival ’07. Hazy orange gold. Odd ashy aroma. Taste is sweet and fruity with a sort of smokey bacon background. Beguiling, smooth, amateurish.

Noteably cloudy beast. Aroma was dry apples cooking appple and hints of nuts. Taste was again dry an appley, sweet nuts in the finish, a decent cider but there are better.

Really nice, a little dry but sweet and strong, very cloudy, the name is a little nasty.

Cask. (supposed to be only 4,8% ABV) Clear, lightly sparkling cider with a minimal white head. Mild aroma of apples and some sourness. The flavor is like green apples, with a touch of lemony sourness. Thin body and slightly astringent. Pleasant and refreshing. (060710)
