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. Nekronos (2265), Xalapa, Mexico

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Dec 26, 2004 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).

Very bad cider. It’s like Strongbow. As Silk says, this is absolutely NOT real cider.
