Sweet apple nose, of course. Light clear gold color, no head. Sweet without any sour, so it comes off like apple juice. Need some tartness or tannens in there to give this some character...any character.

This one is great, is the first I have tried in Europe that I like. It has a strong but a sweet flavor at the time.

One of the less unpleasant Sam Smiths efforts at the end of the RB London Christmas pub crawl. There’s even a very slight funky edge to the aroma, but it’s just too sweet to command any respect. Keg at the Brewery Tap (that is, the old Courage Brewery tap, not Sam Smiths brewery tap).

Lacks aroma, bit of apple juice. Clear gold with a white small head. Sweet slightly tart apple flavour. Blergh.

Keg at the "World’s Funniest Pub", The Anchor Tap, Tower Bridge, London..
Very bad cider. It’s like Strongbow. As Silk says, this is absolutely NOT real cider.
Sampled on the Ratebeer London Meetup & Pub Crawl, December 2004. With Silktork, Chris_o, & Kook.

Quite sweet, but still very sparkling and refreshing. Nice natural apple flavour.

(Keg, at the Kings Arms, York, England) Descent cider, if you are into ciders.

Cheap, as are all Sam's products, and pretty good for the price. A bit sweet for me, but certainly drinkable.
