Woodpecker Cider

Brewed by Bulmers Cider (S&N, Heineken)
Style: Cider
Hereford, England

Only drink cider occasionally, but this stuff was pretty good. It tasted not much different than apple juice, didn’t have that "fake malt beverage feel." Body was light, left my mouth with a somewhat stale aftertaste though, like other ciders. Overall decent though.

Mild tartness to the sweet applesauce aroma. Clear and extremely pale with fizzy head that dissipates quickly. Sweet but watery applesauce flavour. Simple and I suppose easy to drink but not much character. On tap at City Steam brewpub in Hartford, CT with DYCSoccer, MartinT and Rastacouere.

Very sweet apples, near honeyish, adorn the watery body...No purpose in this one but to induce children to drinking alcohol...Shame...

Greenish extremely pale crystal clear yellow. Light apple aroma, one-dimensional considering the absence of any farmy notes. Little acidity, lots of sweetness. Okay mouthfeel with soft carbonation and an easy going light-medium body. Not very balanced. Industrial and unappealing example.

My first cider. Smells like cheap white wine, and later maybe a bit melonish. No head, light golden colour. Tastes like cheap white wine too, didn’t feel any apples at first, just a bit of appleish sourness, but later they showed up, tasting strange. It’s also sort of dusty and quite sweet. My next cider is probably going to be Strongbow, and seeing that this is rated higher than that, doesn’t fill me with enthusiasm.

Light gold colour, with a white head, soon gone. Better described as an apple juice with some alcohol in it, rather than a cider. Sweet, watery and fizzy.

Wow...this was a pretty sorry cider. Can’t say I dislike any others more than this one. It’s just too artificial and fruity tasting. It’s overly sweet and a bit watery too. It has a really funky aftertaste too. Overall, not good.

aroma of champagne and apples. a little too watery and light... it tasted like carbonated apple juice... i won’t have this again.
