Woodpecker Cider

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

Pours a super pale yellow color with almost no head but lots of carbonation. Pretty standard mass produced cider. As my cider palate has expanded I’ve moved farther and farther away from the big bottlers and try extra hard to seek out the smaller cider producers. This isn’t "real" cider, but it’s a perfectly decent lawnmower cider.

well this is just another typcial cider. tastes like apple juice. chicks dig the cider. not me. but this is ok in this category.

27.5 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. Light spiced apple citric aroma. Sweet initially with a light apple-juice flavour. Holds a slight aspertam like note into the finish. Ends a bit dry-sticky.

12 ounce bottle- pours out a very light clear golden color with no head to speak of. Aroma is apples. Has a very champagne like taste and mouth feel. Not bad, very light feel for a hot day. I’d buy it again, good to keep on hand for the ladies.

Pale and clear. Notes of vomit and cider. Flavor of vomit with a hint of apple cider on the finish. Just disgusting.

Bottle.
Pours a semi-lively diluted corn syrup with a lagerized apple aroma that is only detectable by practically inhaling the liquid. Flavor is honey-vinegar soaked apple, but mostly just carbonated water that turns to faint white grape juice as it warms. Watery mouthfeel that adds nothing to the drink.

I love this stuff, not so much for it’s flavor or anything critical. I love it because it reminds me of my 1st home in England. It was the first drink I had at the pub. It was smooth and crispy, and it was especially easy to drink. I will always hold a special place for Woodpecker cider, it’s more sentimental than based in critique.

Bottle at The Mask, London. Bright yellow. Nose of orange. Tasted in the rocks. Not sure about it. Quite sweet, orange juice flavoured. With lots of carbonation. Wasn’t too impressed.
