Samuel Smiths Cider Reserve

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Cider
Tadcaster, England

Golden with no head. Sweet apple juice aroma. Clean and sweet apple flavour. In one word: Boring

golden color smells of apple taste like apple juice and wine, not one of my favorite ciders

<i>Draught at Duke of Argyll, London</i>
Blond color, almost no head. Very little apple character here, some sweetness (pleasant), light acidity, but not much character overall. Too simple.

very impartial to this cider, expected snore from Sam smith. Nothing out of the ordinary with this one. Apple aroma, surprise. No head or lacing. Balenced carbonation, which Is key for me.

Draught @ Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street, London EC4, UK. Clear light yellow orange color with a small, virtually none, off-white head. Aroma is moderate apple. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average to short duration, and a dry finish. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat. (271207)

No head. Yellow body with carbonation. Thin watery aroma with faint apple notes. Dry apple taste with wooden notes and some sweetness. Faint metal, too, and a slightly mealy feel. Dryish watery apple aftertaste. Not bad, but very light. (0.5pt on keg at Cittie of Yorke.)

Many Sam Smiths pubs in London. Apple taste is fairly well balanced, maybe a little sweet, but aftertaste is crisp and dry. An OK cider but the bottled one SS does is better. Maybe slightly over-carbonated.

Draught. At Ye Old Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street, London. Clear bubbly gold, tiny little head. Very tart ripe apple aroma, a hint of vinegar sourness. Very light taste, fresh, crisp apple, not too sweet, a mild tartness and a very quick finish. Light body, slightly acidic, nice sharp carbonation - fairly dry, with no linger or aftertaste. Pretty good refreshing light cider.
