An average cider, with typical apple aroma. The finish is crisp, with some apple tartness and champagney carbonation.

Not a bad cider. Very middle of the road. Not very strong. Easy to down.

Nice cider. Very refreshing and natural. A littlethin maybe, could need some more alcohol and apples.

A solid little cider here gang. 12 oz green glass bottle. Poured out a bright yellow color, with a slight white head. Left a lacing down the sides of the glass as well. Aromas are of Pippin apples, with a slight yeastiness to it as well. Crisp, tart, delicious. Weak in the alcohol department, but who cares? It’s a summer beverage. Finishes clean, crisp and tart. A fairly decent cider.

Years ago I used to drink this at Brits Pub in Minneapolis. It was my transition drink into adulthood, a wonderful way to enjoy alcohol when beer just didn’t appeal. Years later, having had the finest ciders of England, I returned to a bottle of this and was highly disappointed. Some white head on a pale yellow body with moderate carbonation. Rather malt-liquor/Lite Beer aroma, some sweetness, moderate carbonation, sickly flavor, a little sour, not as well supported in the body as I would have thought. A faint reflection of my memories, which had placed this as "one of the finest" ciders around. No more can I think that.

Plastic bottle. Yellowish gold with excessive carbonation. Poor sweet cider, acidic, low alcohol and flavour.

Draught, at Queen Victoria pub, Syston, Leicester. This is a blast from the past! In the UK this is the sort of thing you start off with when you first venture into pubs at around 16/17. This is very sweet, and fizzy and tastes like cordial. Not very strong, and not very crisp, but it's alright if you like cider. I'm glad to say I've grown into the grain and out of the apple, as those hangovers were getting shocking.
